Here is a perfect book for campus staff who want to engage in discussion about high expectations. Research has identified high expectations on the part of teachers as essential to success for all students. However, just telling teachers to have high expectations does not often work. In Expectations Game, Tucker and Jackson provide a fun, motivating way to address this important topic. The sessions offer time for both dialogue and discussion in an interactive setting. An expected outcome is that through such dialogue and reflection teachers will gain insight into their own belief systems and thereby be more open to changing some of their own attitudes which may be counterproductive to student success.
Barbara Tucker has over 35 years experience as a teacher, administrator, and district level coordinator in public school districts. Since her retirement, Ms. Tucker's consulting work has focused upon school wide improvement for high poverty schools resulting in student success.
Mary Jackson is director of Special Programs in Fort Bend ISD, Sugar Land, TX. With over 25 years experience in public schools, she has worked in school districts in the U.S. and abroad in the U.S. military schools.
