When I wrote a book about Berkeley High School (Class Dismissed, October 2000), I was captivated and inspired by Rick Ayers’ and Amy Crawford’s dedicated, innovative and intelligent teaching methods–that’s why they were two of the four teachers profiled in the book. This book is the text version of their dedication, innovation, and intelligence, and no high school teacher–or parent–should be without it. Brilliant and necessary!
