ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Although writing can be a solitary endeavor, publishing a book is a team effort. I am indebted to the team at Solution Tree Press for their collaboration and support. In particular, Suzanne Kraszewski helped shepherd this book from concept to reality. Douglas Rife and Jeff Jones have been the best of partners and friends. Michael Fullan publishes, by my rough count, a book after every meal, and yet found the time to write a very gracious foreword for this one. He is a model colleague and great friend. Bob Eaker is an inspiration to me and to educators and leaders around the world. His gentle wit, compassion, and commitment to education represent the best of our profession.
—Douglas Reeves
For twenty years, Jeff Jones has been a personal friend and a constant source of encouragement and caring. This book, as well as so many of my other projects, simply would not have happened without Jeff’s constant support. And, this particular book would not have become a reality without the friendship and intellectual insights of Doug Reeves. Doug represents the best our profession has to offer, and his friendship and initiative with this book is very much appreciated.
—Robert Eaker
