Awards and Recognition Book Review, Dr. Bill Marzano, Vice President of Community Development Waubonsee Community College, IL "From recent offerings by Daniel Goleman on "Emotional Intelligence" to classic renderings on motivationbyMaslow and McGregor,the power of recognition is highly touted. Dr. Andrews' book on Awards and Recognition for Exceptional Teachers documents this powerful motivator of recognition is not widely used in our K-12 and higher education systems. However, the book offers best practices and numerous practical suggestions for school administrators to leverage faculty recognition to enhance student learning. Every responsible educational adminis- trator should have this book on their "must read" list." |
REVIEW: The Dual-Credit Phenomenon! by Dr. John Erwin President, Illinois Central College, Peoria, Illinois "No book gives an educator a better analysis and summary for the importance of dual-credit than what Andrews has written. Every community college (and secondary school) will benefit from the examples and challenges outlined in the book that supports the dual-credit concept. Quality courses with collegiate standards are possible when applying Andrews' criteria for dual-credit excellence." |

Epilogue: Highly Qualified and Competent Teachers in Every Classroom Bibliography / Index ====================== Accountable Teacher Evaluation: BOOK REVIEW ...... U.K. by David Palfreyman: Review for Education and the Law (UK) Along the way it provides numerous interesting case studies and helpful tick lists, as well as an exploration of motivational theory and the use of non-monetary recognition / rewards. It then tackles 'remediation' in the form of progressive discipline -- reprimands through to dismissal; and the role of governing boards (whether local school boards or governors of an HEI) in overseeing the process of employee monitoring, evaluation and discipline. All in all a useful primer on this important topic." |

The Dual-Credit Phenomenon is
the only comprehensive book available on
this important program which is spreading
across America (see picture image on the right).
Many critics of the secondary school system in
America are suggesting the last two years of high
school are a waste of time for many students.
Community colleges and a few universities have
undertaken reform through the creative program
of dual credit.
This program allows bright students to take
college level classes that secondary schools also
now count toward high school diploma completion.
Technical and Career Education programs are
now shifting in large numbers to the "dual-credit"
option and away from the articulated and college
credit in escrow options
The dual-credit movement is one of the most
significant educational innovations to take place
over the past 50 years! It brings secondary schools
and higher education into the same arena in terms
of improving learning opportunities for secondary
(high school) students.

Flanary, Director, Center for Principal Development; NASSP * "This practical handbook on teacher evaluation is a thorough guide through the intricate issues surrounding teacher evaluation. The information, tools, and strategies contained in this guide enhance the opportunity to move teacher evaluation from the task of fulfilling regulatory guidelines to improving teacher performance and increasing student achievement." * National Association of Secondary Schools Principals a review of: Accountable Teacher Evaluation: by Christine M. Licata, Associate V.P. for Academic Affairs at NTID/Rochester Institute of __Technology___ _ "This book is a call to action for K-12 and community college instructional administrators. Its message is compelling: supervisory evaluation of teaching is generally lacking and this needs to be corrected fast! Simply stated, students deserve it and the public demands it.
