Blackburn (education, Winthrop U.) has developed this guide to rigor in the classroom for principals, curriculum specialists and educators who want to maintain a high level of expectations from students in these environments. The author emphasizes the role of the teacher as the instigator of change and provides tips on how to develop a sense of power and control over the direction of study habits. By continually supporting and guiding the students and raising both expectations and the level of content, educators should be able to assess positive results. A comprehensive listing of web resources and instructional strategies is also provided. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
