"The Teacher-Student Relationship is KEY to Academic Success!!" -Jeff Gray Jeff Gray is the Principal at Lighthouse Primary School in the Republic of Mauritius and author of several books which were written with a focus towards improving student-teacher relationships. Jeff has been recognized for his work in developing educational curriculum for teachers and his books are favorites in many classrooms across the USA. IF SHE ONLY KNEW ME: This book, written from an at-risk child’s perspective, is pointed and powerful. Every educator in America would benefit from reading this book. It is a must read for all school principals, teachers, counselors and university students. It will challenge, encourage, convict, and convince the reader using the simplistic views of a 9-year-old boy. His picture is priceless and his comments are provoking. The feedback on this book has been outstanding! 601 MAPLE STREET: This book provides ideas for mentors who care about improving the professional community in which they live while making a difference for students they serve. SHE LOVES ME: Today’s best teachers do the small things that demonstrate genuine love for children. The pages describe what Jeff personally observed countless times at Foust Elementary School in Owensboro, Kentucky.

DON'T FORGET FRANCES: This book forces every reader to consider each child as an individual. There are too many lonely, neglected and forgotten children that walk the hallways of our schools. Read the book and then you’ll begin to observe your students more carefully. WHAT IF?: This book was written to ask lots of questions that people are unwilling to ask. So, as I live 10,000 miles away from the USA, I can ask the hard questions from afar. It seems that our system is broken. Our schools are designed more for providing jobs than educating all children. We have paper work nightmares when we sleep because we are drowning in data. The union now protects marginal teachers rather than defending the children that they were hired to serve. We have the greatest resources on the planet available to us and we still fail lots of children. Why?
