More than 80 colleges and 26 school districts are already using Powerful Interactions in their work. Here's what some of these readers are saying... "Having Powerful Interactions helps me know my students so much better. Powerful Interactions have really opened my eyes! Now that I'm more purposefully connecting, I can respond more effectively to individual children. And, I'm often surprised by how much children know." --Liane "Since you introduced me to Powerful Interactions, my assistant and I find that we are teaching with intent rather than on autopilot. The result is that we have a greater understanding of each individual child's development and can respond in ways that are appropriate for them." --Corrine
