More required reading for my teacher residency. In the words of my cohort coordinator:
"This book will serve to provide the big-picture background for the work we do at (...). It is an engaging discussion of the achievement gap and the exciting narrative of a particular approach to it. It’s well aligned with our mission, because Mr. Canada’s Harlem Children’s Zone embraces the idea of preparing children and families for college success from a very young age."
I concur. Geoffrey Canada is an inspiration. But Paul Tough's excellent narration is equally inspiring .
