Foreword
This booklet is the 17th in a series of "hot topic" reports produced by the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory. They address current educational concerns as indicated by requests for information. Each booklet contains a discussion of research and literature, implications for policy and practice, a sampling of how Northwest educators are addressing the issue, references and selected resources.
One objective of the series is to foster a sense of community and connection among educators. Another is to increase awareness of current education-related themes and concerns. Each booklet gives practitioners a glimpse of how fellow educators are addressing issues, overcoming obstacles, and attaining success in certain areas. The goal of the series is to give educators current, reliable, and useful information on topics that are important to them.
