"With most books, readers discover what motivates one, maybe two educators, if they’re lucky. The second volume of Education Write Now is unique in that it reveals what drives ten diverse and accomplished educators. While the preface makes it clear that relationship building is the focus of the book, what it doesn’t prepare the reader for is the breadth of actionable and tested strategies that each of the authors writes so passionately about. There is something in this book for every educator, regardless of their interests, experience or title." — Jon Harper, Vice Principal, Sandy Hill Elementary School, MD
"Education Write Now (Vol 2) gives readers insight and practical actions on the foundation of education — relationships. Through the collective experience of these ten leaders you will have the powerful resources to strengthen that foundation in your school. This book is for everyone who is connected in any form to education, students, parents/guardians, educators and members of the larger community." — Denise Murai, Parent & Community Liaison, Hahaione Elementary, Honolulu, HI; and HundrED Ambassador, HundrED.org
