Trade ReviewI noticed that many of Dr. Sanders points align with my 10 strands of community development, so I agree with her right off. Dr. Sanders book pulls together these ideas and gives references where people can look deeper if desired. She provides good, concrete examples of how these ideas might look in practice. -- Nancy Meltzoff, Professor of Education at Pacific University
Brenda Sanders did an amazing job with writing in a way that the reader can relate to what she is saying. Everything that she wrote seemed clear and concise. She addressed thoroughly the areas that need to be addressed when establishing a strong educational environment. -- Jenny Wilkinson, English Language Development Specialist, North Clackamas School District
The examples of how to develop mission, vision, and increase accountability was right on the mark. Dr. Sanders is indeed a strong educator and has always 'got it' from a heart, soul, mind perspective in reaching all students to inspire excellent! -- Arbrella Luvert, Founder of International School of Modern Technology, retired teacher and administrator
