Читать книгу Beyond the Common Core - Juli K. Dixon - Страница 4

Acknowledgments

My deepest love and gratitude to my daughters, Alex and Jessica, who continue to allow me to understand mathematics more deeply through their eyes, and to my husband, Marc, who understands my need to spend countless hours doing so. Special thanks to all of the teachers who have used our books and helped us to see how to extend their learning. And finally, to our mentor, Tim Kanold, thank you for providing the opportunity to help so many.

—Juli K. Dixon

My accomplishments would not be possible without the support I receive from my husband of twenty-five years, Larry, and from our three sons, Blake, Philip, and Kurt, or without the love of my father, Pickens Lott, Jr. (deceased), and my mother, Tennie Ruth Lott, and the daily strength that comes by way of knowing who I belong to.

—Thomasenia Lott Adams

Many thanks to my family, Michele and Calvin, for the wonderful support they provide me in all of my endeavors. I also wish to thank all of my colleagues from whom I have learned so much over the years.

—Edward C. Nolan

First and foremost, I extend thanks to Juli, Thomasenia, and Ed for understanding the joy, the pain, and the hard work of the writing journey, and for giving freely of their talent to others. Thanks, too, to Jeff Jones and Douglas Rife from Solution Tree for their belief in our vision and work in mathematics education. Special thanks to Becky DuFour for her wisdom, insight, advice, and deep understanding of what it takes to become an authentic professional learning community. Most importantly, thanks to Susan, my loving critic, who understands how to formatively guide me through a handbook series as bold as this.

—Timothy D. Kanold
