"Does My Teacher Notice Me? lays the foundation for educators who want to make a lasting impact on their students' lives. Tyler gives us the tools to assist us in noticing that one-size-fits-all teaching approaches are rarely effective, and instead provides us with methods to ensure that each student learns in a way that resonates with them. This book is a great reminder for educators to stop, breathe, and focus on the little things. If you think back to your favorite childhood teacher, I am certain it will be someone who genuinely noticed  you.
