The Educator's Handbook for Understanding and Closing Achievement Gaps
Great book. Schmoker is one of my favorite educational writers and is on point with much of what he argues. Through the use of data, professional collaboration and common assessment Schmoker argues that real results in educational reform can be realized and he makes the point rather effectively. His only glaring weakness is the short shrift he gives behavioral concerns within this context. Overall a must read for anyone concerned with educational reform.
