[LM_NET] Professional Development Book Suggestions?

[Cayla Armatti <readlistendream@YAHOO.COM>]

I am writing a grant for a professional book study for the staff of my school, an 
inner city high school in Chattanooga, TN. About 85% of the students are on 
free/reduced lunch, so we are dealing with cultural differences as well as 
low-income families. Discipline and attendance problems are rampant. I've looked at 
various titles on Amazon, and saw this book: Closing the Poverty and Culture Gap: 
Strategies to Reach Every Student by Donna Tileston. It is a farily new book and 
there are no reviews or even a description on Amazon.  Are any of you familiar with 
this title, and would you recommend it for a staff read?
 
Other suggestions have been:  How to Reach and Teach All Students (Breaux), A 
Framework for Understanding Poverty (Payne), and Results Now (Schmoker).
