Unless experienced and well-read English teachers can develop coherent and increasingly demanding literature curricula in their schools, average high school students will remain at about the fifth or sixth grade reading level-where they now are to judge from several independent sources. This book seeks to challenge education policy makers, test developers, and educators who discourage the assignment of appropriately difficult works to high school students and make construction of a coherent literature curriculum impossible.

Autorenporträt
Sandra Stotsky, professor of education emerita, University of Arkansas, was senior associate commissioner at the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education from 1999 to 2003, in charge of developing or revising K-12 standards in all major subjects, teacher and administrator licensing regulations, teacher licensure tests, and professional development criteria. She served on the Common Core Validation Committee from 2009 to 2010 but refused to sign off on these standards on the grounds that they were not (1) research-based, (2) internationally benchmarked, or (3) rigorous.
