If only it was published earlier, I would have had the guidance and insights needed. This is the perfect companion for many of the other publications of Michael Gurian and Kathy Stevens. I have added this to my professional library and hope you will as well. Rating: 5 / 5 As a principal who instituted single sex classrooms in my school this book is an absolute must.
