Any teacher, principal, or policymaker who is interested in what it takes on a classroom level to close the achievement gap should read this book." -Dacia Toll, co-chief executive officer of Achievement First"All teachers should own at least two copies of Doug Lemov's Teach Like a Champion, one for home and one for school, so that they are never far from the roadmap to excellence that lies within.
