"Brian applied a growth mindset as a teacher and principal and now applies it in his book. Our educational system does not provide gifted education for every child - yet. A valuable read for anyone who wants to be a better educator."
- Steven L. Frick, MD, Professor and Vice Chair, Education, Stanford University School of Medicine
"Before reading his book, I was an advocate for widening the gifted program net and providing access to more students. Butler rocked my world with his eloquent and impassioned case for providing access to gifted education to all students. He challenges us to move from gifted programs for some to embedded gifted programming for all."
- Ken Williams, Educational Consultant, Author of Ruthless Equity
"The title of this book sums up Brian's mission with simplicity: Every student deserves a gifted education.

"Brian (and his team) did what sounded impossible: to this parent: they challenged each child in all subjects no matter their test results. Each child received a concierge-level education tailored to meet their needs and abilities. I would not have believed it had I not seen it. Brian knows exactly what he is doing."
- Rock Rockenbach, Former PTO President, Attorney, Retired Military Officer

-Jack Baldermann, Superintendent, CUSD 201, Westmont, Illinois
"The need for a paradigm shift in education has long been acknowledged, but this book addresses this need with an urgency that resonates. Butler's research is a guiding light, grounding his assertions in a solid foundation of evidence and personal experience. What truly sets this book apart is its ability to make this shift accessible, doable, personal, and logical. Brian Butler's work is a manifesto of hope, a rallying cry for change, and a reminder that the power to nurture greatness lies within our collective hands."
-Gavin Grift, Author of Mastering Meetings That Matter, Consultant, President, Grift Education, Melbourne, Australia
"As a parent of children with a wide scope of needs, I want their teachers to have Brian's book. It clearly lays out the 'why' and follows it up with the 'how.' Teachers will leave understanding that once we know the needs of our students, we know how to meet them."
-Geri Parscale, Educational Consultant, Author and Speaker
