Reviews

'This book poses questions for all professionals in the Children's Workforce and Extended Provision, including those supporting special and behavioural needs such as teachers and mentors . Moving personal accounts by vulnerable children, young people and families allow unique insights into the challenges they face. Professor Rosemary Sage directly addresses support strategies for 'low achievers' that are more than just effective but enable them to shine - and contribute to society their many special gifts.' <br>Jennifer Rogers, Associate Professor of Education, Liverpool Hope University, UK
