       practices" ; Emphasize the quality of the relationships 
       between teachers and students ; Changes in student 
       performance standards must be accompanied by the creation 
       of standards for pedagogy, content, and classroom 
       environment, and the professional development necessary to
       implement them ; Connect changes in standards to grades, 
       not just to performance on large-scale assessments ; 
       Create "extra help" situations that encompass all students
       who need it, not just those students who avail themselves 
       of it ; Extend extra help beyond school work to how to 
       succeed in the future ; Reforming with, not for, students 
       -- Appendix : Student interview protocols. 
520 1  "According to the many student voices in this book, urban 
       middle school students want teachers who "stay on them" to
       complete their work, maintain orderly classrooms, give 
       them the extra help they need to succeed, explain their 
       work clearly, draw on a variety of teaching strategies, 
       and make their work relevant and meaningful. This book, 
       rich in detail, brings these inner-city students' 
       perspectives to life and issues a compelling call for 
       urban school reform that actually touches students' daily 
       lives."--Jacket.
