Silent Talk is for every parent, every child, and every educator who has ever felt unnoticed, unheard or unappreciated. --Charlene Margot, MEd, co-founder and CEO, The Parent Venture In the spheres of education and business, valuing diversity has made a great deal of progress over the past half-century. But one dimension - temperament diversity - has often been overlooked. In her new book, Silent Talk: Setting the Stage for Introverts to Thrive in the Classroom and Beyond, Dr. Kasevich eloquently describes the biochemical characteristics that contribute to introversion, extroversion, and how teachers (and business people) can create a more inclusive environment for people across the temperament landscape. Heidi's book is more than concepts, as demonstrated by ""Micro-Mindful Moments,"" helping readers bring concepts to life and advance a more temperament-inclusive culture. --Dave Coffaro, principal, Strategic Advisory Consulting Group One-third to one-half of students are introverts -- yet our schools and classrooms are designed for extroverts.
