Inspired by student needs and the world around us, the crafted challenges for 21st Century learners can be applied outside the classroom and in the real world. This book was shaped by verbal and written student-input about what worked best and helped them increase in skills and scores.

Those learned while teaching, and 2. Those she designed and developed for her diverse students each year. Here, in 5 chapters, you will find a string of her most impactful, tried-and-true challenges that you can use as is or adapt to your path along the course of a year. 1 - The adventure begins at CROSSING GENRES where you will find resources to set you off in the right direction. 2 - Things get deep on HIGHWAY ANALYSIS.
