Critics Review
“This groundbreaking book provides educators with proven strategies for educating children living in deep poverty. For those of us who believe all children have an inalienable right to learn, School Communities of Strength provides a call to action and a pathway to success.” - Linda Darling-Hammond, president, Learning Policy Institute, and professor emeritus, Stanford University
“Drawing in equal parts from his vast knowledge of education research and lifelong impatience with injustice, Cookson crafts a manifesto to guide education reform for the millions of American children living in deep poverty. No coddling of ‘poor things’ here, but rather tough principles for creating the caring and rigorous schools these children need and deserve.” - Jeannie Oakes, presidential professor emerita in educational equity, UCLA
