In this edition of Educational Leadership Online, our authors discuss how to reach students who aren't achieving up to their potential or for whom traditional teaching practices don't seem to be working. (See Educational Leadership, February 2006, for more articles on this topic.) Authors talk about how to create a consistent homework policy, enlist college-age tutors, integrate the arts into the curriculum, and motivate students and teachers to keep learning new things.

In a Response section, two authors comment on articles published previously in Educational Leadership. In “Misleading in the Middle,” Rick Wormeli replies to Cheri Pierson Yecke's April article, “Mayhem in the Middle.” And Sandra J. Stein takes issue with Barbara Batholomew's May piece on “Transforming New York City's Public Schools.”

With this second online summer issue, you will find video clips accompanying Susan Goetz Zwirn's article “Of Paint and Pantomime.” (Watch the arts in action!) Also, for the first time for Educational Leadership, we provide you an opportunity to blog with fellow readers about the articles you read. You can comment on any article—and possibly talk with some of the authors, too—by going to the ASCD Blog. We hope you enjoy the summer.
