Students who feel connected to their teachers are more engaged, more dedicated, and more motivated about their education because they feel safe, supported, and nurtured. Ryan Stein's book, Lifeline 65, is a primer for educators who are seeking to enthusiastically make those connections to ensure every student is successful." --Dr. James F. Lane, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Virginia Department of Education

"Ryan Stein makes the underdog the 'top dog' in the classroom and in every field of human endeavor." --Dr. Herbert Monroe, Assistant Superintendent, Caroline Public Schools

"Mr. Stein always believed in me and pushed me to be a better student; he made me the editor of our classroom newspaper. Ten years later, that small amount of belief led me to follow my dreams of becoming a fashion editor." --Madison Calogerakis, Student
