Good Schools in Poor Neighborhoods contrasts highly effective schools serving urban, low-income, minority youth with their more typical, struggling counterparts. Highlighted are two disparate schools: one serving predominately African American students in a large northeastern city and one serving Latino students in a southwestern urban area. Through solid data from original research, as well as lively vignettes and vivid quotes from principals, teachers, parents, and students, a picture of exceptional schools emerges to guide policymakers and practitioners.

From Introduction: "...Patricia B. Campbell has adapted Jacobean embroidery patterns to new Jacobean applique designs, retaining the spirit of antique pieces....ROMANTICA (Book II) was designed as a challenge to Jacobean applique lovers with 12 blocks and a border to make a 65" x 80" (165 x 203 cm) wall quilt. ROMANTICA'S designs are based on classic botanical shapes which have been simplified for applique. They focus on fantasy rather than realism. They are charming and fun to stitch. The book's instructions are explicit and user-friendly, with options offered. A discussion of color and fabric selection is included, plus guidelines for entering contests and winning over judges at quilt shows...."

Understand how to implement high-quality evaluations within different cultural contexts in the world.&nbsp;Evaluation in Today's World: Respecting Diversity, Improving Quality, and Promoting Usability is a timely and comprehensive textbook that guides students, practitioners, and users of evaluations in understanding evaluation purposes, theories, methodologies, and challenges within today's sociocultural and political context. Veronica G. Thomas and Patricia B. Campbell include discussions of evaluation history, frameworks, models, types, planning, and methods, through a social justice, diversity, and inclusive lens. The authors focus on ethics in diverse cultural contexts, help readers understand how social problems and programs get politicized and, sometimes, framed through a racialized lens, show how to engage stakeholders in the evaluation process, and communicate results in culturally appropriate ways.
