How refreshing that these authors have designed and shared their research from the voice and experience of students! What could be more relevant or important feedback for teachers than what our students say makes the difference in their success? Novel concept in the field of education! Great read!

Schools and universities can benefit from the data and insights presented in this book. Tufte and Tufte show that student success in K-12 and higher education does not happen by chance. We all can benefit from a deeper understanding of how high-impact educators empower students.
--Todd Whitaker, educator, international presentor, and author of What Great Principals Do Differently: Fifteen Things that Matter Most
This valuable research study reveals the components of schooling that students say most contributed to their success in college and in the post-graduate workplace. The authors discuss these components in depth and remind us how many of them can be overlooked as teachers focus mainly on covering curriculum. Using the outcomes of this study, the authors offer constructive suggestions to educators for cognitive, social, and emotional considerations that will enhance students' learning and their future success.
--David A. Sousa, author and consultant in educational neuroscience
We've spent the better part of the 21st century determining how to cultivate and develop K-12 educators to create meaningful and rigorous experiences for students. Drs. Brenda and John Tufte's inquiry to uncover what really makes a high-impact educator enlists the often overlooked "expert" knowledge of our recent graduates, who have spent 13+ years in classrooms. Their research findings provide a compelling set of descriptors to aid educators in deepening their impact on students and, thus, society.
