Excellent resource for teachers and parents

The articles in this book should be mandatory reading for all teachers, as well as for parents of learners with untapped potential. Included are strategies for developing lessons for at-risk students that unleash their imaginations and empower them to become responsible for their own education. The teacher becomes the coach and the students develop lifelong learning skills. This book holds the key to our drop-out problem in America's schools.
