Joanne Jacobs' (2005) book Our School: The Inspiring Story of Two Teachers, One Big Idea and the Charter School That Beat the Odds (Palgrave Macmillan, Nov. 29, 2005) tells the saga of a San Jose charter high school that prepares underachievers — most from Mexican immigrant families — to succeed at four-year colleges.

“Joanne Jacobs has written a ground-breaking book about the most interesting, and potentially important, change in American schooling in the last 15 years.”–Jay Mathews, Washington Post education columnist, author of Harvard Schmarvard, Escalante, and Class Struggle.

Available in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle formats.

It's worth reviewing, if you share interest in schooling and student learning potential.
