"Ames and Miller have captured inspirational stories of educators working hard to make schools better for young adolescents. The images they offer in these case studies should be enormously helpful as practitioners envision what their own middle schools could be like.'' —--Jeannie Oakes, professor, Graduate School of Education, University of California, Los Angeles
