Teachers have become complacent and bored with regular trainings because they don't solve problems. This book will put that idea away and support learning to those who are in the classroom and who don't have a process for solving problems. Collaborative learning will holds teachers and administration accountable for all children learning to the best of their ability and removes the PD from hell syndrome. -- Claudia A. Danna.
