Publisher Synopsis
Praise for the first edition: "Barr and Parrett have provided educators, policy makers, and parents with an outstanding resource. If you're serious about leaving no child behind, this is one book you need to read." -- Bill Scott, Executive Director 20070326 "I always knew that all students could meet or exceed standards if we articulated the research-based practices that worked. This is exactly what the authors have done. We now have the tools to ensure all our students are successful-what a glorious time for schools, thanks to Robert Barr and William Parrett!" -- Nancy Golden, Superintendent 20070329 "Lives up to its title with 50 experience-tested recommendations. Though especially recommended for educators serving in America's most troubled schools, this book is filled cover to cover with tips, tricks, techniques, and recommendations that even those most successful schools will find useful." -- The Bookwatch, May 2008 20080129 Read more...
