If we want to really understand our students so that we can optimize instruction for them, we must think of each individual student as distinctive and irreplaceable.

 That is the guiding principle of my new book, Powerful Student Care: Honoring Each Learner as Distinctive and Irreplaceable. Co-authored with veteran educator Kathleen M. Budge, the book offers a one-of-a-kind system for tailoring our instruction to each student’s unique life circumstances. It’s backed by experience and research, packed with cases showing the Powerful Student Care model in action, and designed to help teachers form the supportive communities that students need to flourish.
