Dan Brown's book, The Great Expectations School, is out in paperback now with some new endorsements. (As a sidenote, it turns out that the two of us went to the same elementary school, pictured left, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and even shared four of six elementary school teachers.)

Also keep your eye out for two new books on accountability and NCLB:

* Richard Rothstein, Rebecca Jacobsen, and Tamara Wilder, Grading Education: Getting Accountability Right

* Richard Kahlenberg (Editor), Improving on No Child Left Behind: Getting Education Reform Back on Track
