Reviews

"Imagine a world where educators utilize differences to motivate students to achieve-Selma Ridgway has opened a portal to that world and we should embrace it forcefully." -AMBASSADOR ANDREW YOUNG

"These powerful stories will encourage and inspire struggling students, and those who work with them, as they seek their own creative ways to learn and achieve." -DORO BUSH KOCH, Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy

"If I had access to stories such as those Selma has collected here, I wouldn't have fought my battles alone. If you know someone who is struggling to learn creatively, read this book... better yet, get them a copy." -PETE KIGHT, Founder, CheckFree Corporation

"While reading Creative Learners, my first thought was how do we get a Selma Ridgway in every public school, so we can show every student with a 'learning difference' ways to thrive and to love school?" -DANIEL A. DOMENECH, Executive Director, American Association of School Administrators
