From Ghosts to Graduates is a timely and essential book that acknowledges the significant impact of three years of interrupted learning on students, particularly those who were traditionally at risk and those who became disengaged during the pandemic. It recognizes that many students have become disconnected and disenchanted with schooling, leading to a looming dropout timebomb. This resource goes beyond merely addressing the symptoms of disengagement and delves into the underlying causes that contribute to these issues.

Author Emily Freeland provides valuable insights and strategies for identifying and reconnecting students who have become ghosts in the system. She emphasizes the importance of seeing and believing in these students, as well as overcoming barriers to their progress. Through each chapter, readers are offered current research and practical strategies, accompanied by Do Now and Reflection sections to facilitate their application of the ideas as they read.

By implementing the practices outlined in this book, educators can actively work to reverse the trend of ghosting and ensure that more students are seen and supported. By fostering a sense of belonging and engagement, educators can help students regain their passion for learning and set them on a path toward success. From Ghosts to Graduates is a valuable resource for educators seeking to address the challenges faced by their students and create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.
