My thanks go first to ASCD for an educational vision that has guided my career and for the forum it has provided for my ideas. I am honored to be an ASCD author. I also wish to thank Debbie Howerton and Ann Cunningham-Morris, who doggedly encouraged me to put pen to paper, and especially Scott Willis, who served as my editor, cheerleader, and taskmaster, and who smoothed the rough edges from some of my most passionate rants. Thanks also to Miriam Goldstein for her thoughtful suggestions and her meticulous attention to detail.
My special thanks go to five authors who started and refined the conversation about homework and helped to guide my work.
