Adequate Yearly Progress by Roxanna Elden

4.0

This is a must read for all of my teacher friends, or for anyone who wants to know what it's really like to be on the other side of the desk. There are no teachers who are heroes, who are "winning." All of the character teachers are just trying to do their jobs against a steady push of demands and obstacles. The different viewpoints were a great idea, because every teacher's experience is unique. However, it did affect the character development a bit. Also, I would have liked more exploration into the celebrity superintendent. It seems like that story line was forgotten in the second half of the book. Those small shortcomings aside, I did highly enjoy this book!
