Recommended by Bill Gates
Bill Gates gave a talk at the TED conference this year on February 4th. He was in part talking about education. In the talk he recommended this book; and in fact promised to send a copy of the book to all participants on the conference.
Quoting from the blurb on the back cover: Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin were determined to learn how best to teach their low-income, at-risk students. Observing the methods of extraordinary teachers and eventually developing their own unconventional classroom model, these two young men overcame the obstacles and challenged the statistics to found a wildly successful nationwide network of public charter schools called the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP).
