These lessons are easy to implement, teacher friendly, and help promote student success whether you are in a collaborative setting or a self-contained environment. Thank you."

"Fote and Joseph have empowered teachers with the ability to craft lessons which ultimately lead to increased student engagement, confidence and success, all the while meeting the rigorous objectives of our curriculum.

"If knowledge is power, it is also obligation. Consider this question, what did you learn about your students today that will drive your lesson planning tomorrow? As teachers, it is our obligation, a daily challenge on the Road to Student Success, to continually, relentlessly, become students of our students and to use that knowledge to design lessons that promise success for each student. Our admiration for teachers who commit to this work is boundless. This book is for you."
