What Teachers Say about Wheeler’s Work

Dear Dr. Wheeler,
I cannot possibly express, even in "code-switched" words, how grateful I am for your book, and—more importantly—for your insights into how to teach the students I love that their word choices are not "WRONG"—they are simply choices meant for a different audience or a different time or place. My students are bright, caring, individuals who are extremely passionate and literate—if not in a Wariner’s Grammar Book sense.
Thanks, again.

“This inservice was VERY informative. I am so excited and I can’t wait to share this information with my teachers.”
 
“Thank you SO MUCH for sharing all of that wonderful knowledge. It has redirected my thinking.”

“Excellently presented. Totally relevant and purposeful.”

“I liked the authentic writing samples used. I also liked the fact that this code-switching process does not demean or demoralize the students.”

“Outstanding!!”

“Thank you for sharing these exciting strategies with us. I look forward to implementing them.”

“Wonderful! Your talk brought the book to life!”
