Description
This book is an important educational text that presents a compelling case for the power of “teacher research” in addressing systemic educational challenges. Written from the perspective of an experienced educator, the book uses a detailed case study of a struggling student named Rose to illustrate its core principles. The author, Smokey Wilson, demonstrates how teachers can use their own classrooms as research laboratories to identify the root causes of school failure and implement targeted, effective interventions. The narrative moves beyond abstract theories, offering a practical and deeply personal account of how dedicated educators can reverse negative trends and create a more equitable and successful learning environment for all students. It is a vital resource for teachers, administrators, and educational researchers committed to fostering real change in their schools and communities.
