Joanne Jacobs' Book in Paperback

Several weeks ago I learned that Joanne Jacobs' book, Our School: The Inspiring Story of Two Teachers, One Big Idea and the Charter School That Beat the Odds, has been published in paperback.

Our School follows the principal, teachers and students at Downtown College Prep, a San Jose charter high school that turns underachievers -- most come from low-income Mexican immigrant families -- into serious students. The charter school’s educational philosophy is: Work your butt off. Students aren’t told they’re wonderful. Teachers tell them they’re capable of improving, which turns out to be true. All graduates in the first three classes have been admitted to college; 81 percent remain on track to earn a four-year degree.

Since Joanne has been very nice to me ever since I started blogging I don't think it's a problem to promote her book. She is a great author. Buy it here!!!
