Six Books. One Idea. The Young Person in Your Life Deserves the Whole Thing.

Six Books. One Idea. The Young Person in Your Life Deserves the Whole Thing.

The ED with Dr. Shanelle Library — Black Friday Week

Every book I wrote for the ED brand began with the same question: what does this young person need that they are not getting? Not what the system requires of them. Not what a standardized test measures. What does this actual student, sitting in an actual classroom, carrying the actual weight of their actual life — what do they need in order to become who they are capable of becoming? Six books later, the answer is the same: they need to be seen, equipped, and sent forward with something real in their hands.

The Academic Foundation: Educate, Encourage, Empower

EEE is the book that comes first — for young men and young women both — because academic success is the foundation everything else is built on. The PARADIGM™ Strategy inside EEE gives students a repeatable, portable process for navigating their academic environment regardless of school, subject, or circumstance. It is in both the For Him and For Her bundles because every student deserves a system.

The College Roadmaps: Crowned with Purpose and Queen Moves

Crowned with Purpose is the college prep guide for young men — built around the FAR Framework™: Focus, Accountability, Routine. Queen Moves is the college prep guide for young women — built around Flow, Alignment, Rhythm. Both books use the same animating question — how FAR will you go? — and both answer it with a formation process, not just a checklist. The young person who reads their book arrives at the college process knowing who they are and what they are building toward.

The Character Books: Before It Turns and Before It Follows You

Before It Turns is written for young men. Before It Follows You is written for young women. Both address coercive control — the patterns that, when they are not named early, follow people into adulthood and damage their relationships and their sense of self. These are equity-based books. They believe that young people deserve language for what is happening in their relationships before it becomes something they cannot easily leave.

Teaching Beyond the Classroom: For the Educator

Teaching Beyond the Classroom is the book for the adult in the room. The CARDS Method™ is a framework for educators — built from my doctoral research and fifteen years of consulting — that names the five roles every effective educator inhabits: Counselor, Advocate, Role Model, Disciplinarian, Surrogate Parent. It is the book for the teacher who knows their students need more than content delivery and is looking for a language for what they are already doing.

All six books are available at Amazon and at DrShanelle.com.
