Important Offer From Rick

As you will see or have seen, I use this public service, public domain video to introduce the new book I have just published with Corwin entitled, Give Our Students the Gift of Confidence. This book opens diverse pathways to instructional strategies that support the development of academic confidence and important achievement gains.

To encourage local educators to tap into these pathways, I make this additional offer: For those districts that purchase copies of my book for their entire faculty (minimum of 50 books), I will present a 60-90-minute live Zoom workshop on the developing of academic confidence for your teachers and school leaders at no cost to you at a time that is convenient for you. Local districts are taking advantage of this offer already and are very excited about moving forward on this priority. If you wish to discuss my offer, please contact me through this website. Thanks for considering this opportunity. I would be honored to work with you.
