Benson is a seasoned professional who believes that in telling stories about young people who have challenges, can open our heads not only to build some strategies but also to remember those strategies as we meet the various and very different students in our schools.

If so, we highly recommend this book as an easy and interesting read that will mentor you through a variety of strategies and approaches.… (meer)
