Bloggers On Bookshelves: Joanne Jacobs' New Book

Joanne Jacobs' new book -- Our School: The Inspiring Story of Two Teachers, One Big Idea and the School That Beat the Odds "(Palgrave Macmillan) -- is coming out shortly. Check it out.

It tells the story of a San Jose charter school called Downtown College Prep that prepares students who are “failing but not in jail” for four-year colleges.

For those of you who don't know, Jacobs was at the SJ Mercury News for almost 20 years and is now one of the most well-established education bloggers out there.
