Tracey Pyscher, Minneapolis Public Schools, says . . .
"Great Books is working just as well as we'd hope," Pyscher said as the 2009-2010 school year began. "Students are participating with great enthusiasm. They're thinking deeply about whey they read and showing it in classroom discussions."
Rebecca Beghin-Johnson, P.S. 146, Bronx, New York says . . .
"Great Books inspires my students to share, express, and question each other in all subjects."
Lindsay Irwin, Saint Joseph Academy, Brownsville, Texas says . . .
"Using Great Books made my teachers more skilled in asking open-ended questions and encouraging students to think independently about what they read."
