      Acknowledgments

      We gratefully acknowledge Nancy Wagner and Tammie Allen for their work in the preparation of this manuscript. Robert Granner made a tremendous contribution to this project with his thoughtful and thorough editing of rough drafts of each chapter.

      For the past 15 years, the faculty and staff of Adlai Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois, has been engaged in the hard work of building a professional learning community. Much of what we have learned can be attributed to them. We also gratefully acknowledge the Board of Education of the Stevenson District for providing the leadership, support, and encouragement that has sustained this long improvement initiative.
