Reviews
“In this inspiring gem of a book, Sáenz and Dew provide a powerful reminder that it is educators, more than education, that change lives. The identity checks and practical exercises in each chapter allow teachers to more deeply understand their core calling and examine their motivations for becoming an educator.”

–Kirsten Baesler, North Dakota State Superintendent

“Every educator repeatedly hears, ‘It is all about relationships.’ While this is undeniably true, details on how to accomplish this are often lacking. In Relationships that Work, Sáenz and Dew provide guidance that is both specific and inspirational. This resource will help every educator reach students who most need meaningful connections to school.”

–Randy Sprick, Ph.D., Director, Safe & Civil Schools
