Ron Berler, Author of Raising the Curve, to Speak at Easton Public Library

Berler's book, Raising the Curve: A Year Inside One of America's 45,000 Failing Public Schools, tells the story of two Norwalk, Connecticut fifth-grade girls -- best friends, but very different types of students, their teachers, the school's literacy specialist, and the principal, and the daily struggles all faced dealing with the pressures brought about by "No Child Left Behind." Berler spent a full year in Brookside Elementary School, sitting in on classes, strategy sessions, and even faculty meetings.
