| Abstract | "You can create more two- and four-year college graduates with minimal debt. Reaching Higher explains why we should transform our K-12 schools, and then demonstrates how to carry out simple, inexpensive, and effective strategies to motivate students to reach higher. It's not controversial; it's not complicated. It's just a simple action plan that creates consensus and enthusiasm. Educators expect that transformative results and minimal cost are rare companions in our nation's schools, but that combination is found within these pages. John Baylor shows you how to affect real change in your school, your community, and above all, in your students in just a few short weeks. He draws on over twenty years' experience working with hundreds of high schools and thousands of students in virtually every educational environment. He has tested and proven these methods and ideas time and time again. They work. It's time for your school, your community, and your students to see the possibilities, make the changes, and reach higher"--Back cover |
