Reviews

This book is an essential addition to the professional development collections of school library media practitioners, and it would ideally also land on the desks of school administrators who can support school librarians in their efforts to lead and collaborate with colleagues in inquiry-based CCSS implementation. This book is also a highly recommended addition to academic libraries, especially in institutions that support school library media and other teacher education programs.
