Planning Interventions and Extensions in Secondary School

“The editors and authors of It’s About Time: Planning Interventions and Extensions in Secondary School make the compelling case that a school with a mission to help all students learn must recognize that when students struggle, they are entitled to extra time and support. . . . No one has provided greater clarity on the critical conditions for effective intervention and extension than the editors of this book, Mike Mattos and Austin Buffum.” —from the foreword by Richard DuFour “As the high school principal of an inner city school, I appreciate any resource that provides insight into strategies to leverage time and attention for struggling students. It’s About Time can be an important tool for all educators looking for effective intervention for their students.”
