     The first chapter in my book that I co-edited reflects upon my time at the Little Red Schoolhouse. I fondly remember Mrs. Colvin. She embodied all that teaching is and should be. If anyone is interested, the book is High-Stakes Teaching: Practices that Improve Student Learning. I thought it important to remember one that truly did practice teaching in a way that improved all of her students' ability to learn - even though she was years ahead of the focus of No Child Left Behind.
