This course was great, and such a relevant topic. The book is an important resource that will continue to stay in my classroom and be shared with co-workers. The information I learned was a real eye-opener and I was able to make so many connections to my teaching experiences. I definitely got to learn things that will help me be a better teacher for my students.

I really wish I had read this book before I started teaching. It is amazing. The issues today's students struggle with are truly difficult, so compassion and understanding are meaningful requirements for all teachers.

The three status' checklists reveal assumptions that will encourage insightful conversations with adults and students. A purposeful course that concentrates on supporting students and staff working together for safe and nurturing relationships.
