Ordinary Gifted Children: The Power and Promise of Individual Attention
A personal story of a home that was a school and a mother who was the principal. School director Ann Hoffmann embraced students whom other schools had failed, and helped them not just to learn, but to learn to love learning. This moving portrait will resonate with anyone who has known or been a champion of children.
From the back cover: “… a book about the kind of education every child deserves … Teachers and parents will draw powerful lessons from this beautiful book.” – Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Emily Hargroves Fisher Professor of Education, Harvard University and author of Balm in Gilead, Respect, and The Third Chapter
“Jessica Davis is no ordinary gifted writer and memoirist. This book will stay with you for a long time after you – reluctantly – put it down.”
