Reviews
A real-world look into the social, emotional, and academic needs of students today. -- Kelly A. Foster, Ed.D, Associate Commissioner, Office of Continuous Improvement and Support, Kentucky Department of Education "Dr. Garrick Ratliff has written a must-read for districts looking to improve student transition to life after K-12 education. As higher learning institutions are removing the ACT/SAT admission requirements and a workforce demanding students to be "work ready," districts are challenged to transform their schools to become multi-dimensional. Ratliff's work helps districts develop an instructional plan to reflect on current practices, incorporate social and emotional learning in the school culture, and develop systems to ensure transitional success for each student." -- Allison Mathews, District Assessment Coordinator, Rowan County Schools "If your definition of "success" for students in your district is more than 'making the grade', this book is a must read for you and your instructional support team! The transition from high school to college can be scary. This book takes the fear away and replaces it with strategies to help students transition into life, not just school. Through scenarios, examples and reflective questions, your team can use this amazing resource to elevate students to a level of holistic success after high school. I can't wait to share this book with others in my various roles as an educator!" -- Trisha Carroll, Teacher, District Leader, Educational Consultant & Chief Operating Officer Kentucky Educational Development Corporation
