"This work is thoroughly researched, providing evidence for the often thought ‘inklings’ we, as educators, suspect in our own contexts.  This body of work provides educators with the confidence to empower colleagues and hence their students to not only be successful in making improvements but to thrive as a life-long process.  Luke’s efficacy as an educator himself is greatly evident – so too is his passion for sharing his research and experiences with others."

-      Catherine Thompson, Principal, Trinity College.

"McKenna draws upon the latest research about how we learn and presents an informative and practical guide on how social emotional learning contributes greatly to improving student learning.

- Peter Pashen, Principal, All Saints Primary School
