Success Stories from a Failing School: Teachers Living Under the Shadow of NCLB

by Marilyn Johnston-Parsons, Melissa Wilson, Jeff Bernardi, Martha Bowling, Marilyn Karl, Elizabeth Lloyd, Melanie McCualsky, Gerrie McManamon, Andrew Nash, and Robert Owens

This book tells stories of life in a ""failing"" school. These are insider stories of the daily lives of children and educators in an urban school during a time when accountability weighs heavy on both teachers and students. Most educators are in favor of accountability. The kind and amount of testing associated with the current accountability movement, however, influence teachers' and students' lives in a way not often apparent to parents and politicians.
