how girls THRIVE
''JoAnn Deak characteristically doesn't just bring the conversation up to date -- she launches it forward. Providing an artful blend of solid research, practical tools, and sly commentary and advice, Deak helps us all better position ourselves for what she rightfully hopes will be the 'equity decade' in the years to come.''-- Susanne B. Beck, Executive Director, National Coalition of Girls' Schools''JoAnn Deak is simply captivating. Her teachings communicate the startling advances made by cognitive scientists in the last twenty years in a way that is entertaining, compassionate, and understandable.''-- Marilyn E. Stewart, President of American Montessori Society''If we care that our girls grow into confident, 'can-do women,' then all of us charged with parenting, teaching, and supporting them must read Deak's significantly revised,How Girls Thrive. It's a quick cup-of-coffee read, but the wake-up lasts a long time.''-- Theo W. Coonrod, Head of School, Saint Mary's School, Raleigh, NC''Knowing how much we as a school relied on and used the earlier version, I can't wait to get this new one in the hands of faculty and parents.''-- Nancy Davies, Head of Orchard House School, Richmond, VA''What a tremendous read! We are so fortunate to have a professional like JoAnn Deak to lead us into the 'The Equity Decade.' A MUST read for anyone working with our youngest generation.'' ---- Bobby Wynne, father, teacher, coach and Dean of Students, Salisbury School, Salisbury, CT
