What Educators Are Saying

This work is ground breaking in that it identifies structural, functional, and cognitive traps that students fall into as a result of their elementary and secondary experiences. It also clearly describes methods for teaching students the pathways out of these traps. My commendations go to Mr. Geddes for this informative and helpful book.

This text is insightful for anyone supporting first year students, but particularly for university faculty teaching college first years. Geddes provides actionable strategies and resources for faculty who want to help their students succeed. As a long time professional in university academic support services, I recommend this text as foundational to understanding the educational context from which our students have just left.
