As a high school SS instructor, I`m with one star O`Keeffe completely on this one. Please read his narration as it is a bit lengthy, but highly comprehensive. The book is simply a rehash of of politically based broad “concepts” but offers nothing whatsoever concrete or specific for success. In other words, it`s a huge compillation of 20 year retreaded terms like: rich compendium, collaboration, diversity, global, for the good of the children,….. etc, etc. A comic strip like Dilbert would have a complete field day with the 300 pages of highly worn out buzz words and existentialist failures that are of course conveniently politically correct, and what pin-head “progressive” professors love to hear.. READ: make for great sales to agenda driven college profs pawning these off on unfortunate undergrads. True American reading and writing skills are waning drastically. It is becuase of books like this for the past 15 years are driving it in the direction. If you are truly interested in best practices/success in your classroom, do the EXACT OPPOSITE of what these 300 pages of worn out pathetic verbiage tell you to do, and your children will indeed succeed.
