It’s a statistic that’s sure to surprise: close to 45 percent of postsecondary students in the United States today do not enroll in college directly out of high school and many attend part-time. Following a tradition of self-improvement as old as the Republic, the Anontraditional” college student is becoming the norm. Back to School is the first book to look at the schools that serve a growing population of Asecond-chancers,” exploring what higher educationAin the fullest sense of the termAcan offer our rapidly changing society and why it is so critical to support the institutions that make it possible for millions of Americans to better their lot in life.

In the anecdotal style of his bestselling Possible Lives, Rose crafts rich and moving vignettes of people in tough circumstances who find their way; who get a second . . . or third . . . or even fourth chance; and who, in a surprising number of cases, reinvent themselves as educated, engaged citizens. Rose reminds us that our nation’s economic and civic future rests heavily on the health of the institutions that serve millions of everyday peopleAnot simply the top twenty universities in U.S. News and World ReportAand paints a vivid picture of the community colleges and adult education programs that give so many a shot at reaching their aspirations.

Over the past few years, districts across the United States, Canada, and Australia have begun implementing instructional rounds, a set of ideas and practices for advancing systemic, district-wide improvement. But as they do so, practical and theoretical questions arise.

Roberts offers a powerful analysis of how instructional rounds can work on the ground. His book weaves together the voices of stakeholders at all levels teachers, principals, and district personnel and presents a number of protocols to support instructional rounds.

Instructional Rounds in Action is an invaluable guide for those involved in implementing instructional rounds as the foundation and framework for systemic improvement in schools.
