Editorial Reviews

Review

"If you want to attract, reward, develop, and retain a highly qualified, cohesive faculty, this is the text for you. The authors provide administrators with a workable blueprint for faculty development. Aware of the need for differentiation, this text provides guidelines for developing new teachers, methods to work with marginal teachers, and a process for challenging highly qualified staff members." (Peter C. Grande, Director of Professional Development )

I live in a development and my neighbors say the book was not delivered to them either. I don't know what happened but I am extremely upset about not having the book for my class and losing money. I now have to purchase another book.
