Book Title: The Academic Achievement Challenge: What Really Works in the Classroom?

Author: Jeanne S. Chall

Selection Statement:

The last book by this highly esteemed educational researcher synthesizes all of the research about effective classroom instruction. This is both an important topic for educators, but a timely one as well. At a time when American education seems to be in disarray about how to effectively educate our diverse students, this book illuminates a path to follow. Chall develops a well-reasoned and persuasive argument on which she bases her conclusions, making it a pleasurable read.
