From the Publisher

"I like the way the text approaches the student on the student's level rather than talking down to students. I like the concept of Peer Coaches. They make the approach to learning more effective."

"I was most impressed by the Peer Coach narrative approach- it elicits identification and empathy from the reader, personalizing key points while weaving in the content that is derived from research. The approach makes content accessible for the reader. Very effective and very well done!"
