The author draws on research and his own extensive work experience
in urban districts across the USA to present a convincing case
for the pivotal role of high expectations in student achievement.



All students are most likely to succeed when leaders, teachers,
mentors, and parents communicate that they expect stellar results
and then provide the instructional support that's needed to guarantee
academic success.


This is an excellent
book. Based on the premise that when teachers expect the best from
all pupils, they will achieve highly, the book uses vast personal
experience and a broad research field to show that high expectations
can have a transformational effect.
