We dedicate this book to the tireless work ofeducators striving to improve the learningof each and every student. Because ofyou, lives are being saved and doors ofopportunity continue to be opened.
Acknowledgments
This book stands on the shoulders of many leaders and pioneers in our education community. None are as impactful as Richard DuFour, who not only wrote prolifically about the work that matters most to students but also made that work come alive in his experiences as principal and superintendent at Adlai E. Stevenson High School. He, Robert Eaker, and Rebecca DuFour, the founders of Professional Learning Communities at Work™, have had an everlasting influence on our work and the work of countless others across the world. We are eternally grateful for the opportunity to learn from them. We share a special bond with Rick, Bob, and Becky that we cherish.
We are also fortunate to have the passionate support of Jeff Jones, the chief executive officer of Solution Tree, and the entire Solution Tree family. We are especially indebted to Douglas Rife, president and publisher of Solution Tree Press, for his encouragement along the way and Suzanne Kraszewski, our editor, for her attention to detail. Shannon Ritz, Claudia Wheatley, and countless others at Solution Tree support us each and every day.
In addition, our colleagues and friends—fellow Solution Tree associates who we have had the privilege of working alongside for years—have challenged us to grow in so many ways. They work endlessly on behalf of students and travel across the world often missing time with their families to spread the message that all students can learn.
Finally, this book could not have been written without the endless work of the educators in schools across the United States that have invited us on their continuous-improvement journeys. We learn so much from them as they work through the challenges and struggles schools that serve at-risk populations face. Their tireless focus on students is what keeps us going. This book is really their story.
Last, but not least, we have had the good fortune of coauthoring this book and are grateful to our families for their support. Continuous improvement for all is our passion. We believe all students should have the same options and opportunities that we want for our own children and grandchildren. This book represents our contribution to learning for all.
