2007 Notable Education Book,
American School Board Journal
This straightforward and inspiring book takes readers into schools where educators believe—and prove—that all children, even those considered “hard-to-teach, ” can learn to high standards.
Their teachers and principals refuse to write them off and instead show how thoughtful instruction, high expectations, stubborn commitment, and careful consideration of each child’s needs can result in remarkable improvements in student achievement.
