When Smart Kids Underachieve in School is an easy-to-read and essential instructional resource for any educator looking to identify, understand, and reverse underachievement. Midwest Book Review, 1/1/18
One of the greatest challenges posed to teachers working with high ability learners is trying to ensure that their needs are met, and that they aren't just getting by or getting A's in school, but that they are truly meeting their potential. This can be a very difficult task, but it is one that Todd Stanley takes on in his book When Smart Kids Underachieve in School: Practical Solutions for Teachers.,Andrea Hayden,Education Review, 6/6/18
