Publisher Description: Creative Learners by Selma Ridgway, a teacher who has dedicated her career to teaching those with learning differences. What people are saying about Creative Learners: "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 |
