High expectations play a central role in encouraging student achievement, argues Massachusetts public school teacher and education consultant Berger.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is difficult to overstate the potential significance of this little book to the education of young people. It represents a paradigm-shift in terms of beliefs and practices about what can be achieved in terms of quality of work by all students. Its alluring charm is its simplicity and self-evident authenticity; its warmth and generosity; its conviction and passion for student success. Having visited schools in the states that have modelled their practices on Ron Berger's approaches, I have seen levels of student engagement, achievement and self-esteem beyond anything I thought possible in mainstream schooling systems. Those involved in running our schools should take note; those who work in them, who really care about students, should devour this book.

Thoroughly recommend this to anyone wanting to revamp and develop their teaching. It is either a A or Not done.

This man is an inspiration to educators. Too little known perhaps, his prose is as artfully crafted as his philosophy. Lots of practical stuff, with a deeply rich philosophy at underpins his ideas. You will become a Berger convert and will want others to do the same - buy it and see!

Ron's book, for me, is the most important book I've ever read. It's inspired me to do many things, and to do them right. As a parent, as a teacher, as a system designer, this little book has gold on every page. I love the way it's written almost as anecdotes, to generate an authenticity to the actual point he's making. It's quite simply stunning.
