Excellent "Great Books" reference for High School Students. You can search alphabetically or by topic. Very useful book!!!

Indispensable (and fun!) Tool for Parents and Educators

When I wrote a book about Berkeley High School (Class Dismissed, October 2000), I was captivated and inspired by Rick Ayers' and Amy Crawford's dedicated, innovative and intelligent teaching methods--that's why they were two of the four teachers profiled in the book. This book is the text version of their dedication, innovation, and intelligence, and no high school teacher--or parent--should be without it. Brilliant and necessary!
