By Ken Bain, Harvard University Press, 2004. According to its description, this book is based on a 15-year study and concludes that "it's not what teachers do, it's what they understand." The best teachers know their subjects well, but also know how to motivate and challenge their students. They believe "that teaching matters, and that students can learn."

By Liz Willen on The Heckinger Report, October 29, 2010. Remedial education is often an obstacle to college completion. Students required to take developmental courses become frustrated and are more likely to drop out than those who don't have to enroll in these courses. Research is underway to identify alternative models.

By Jennifer Gonzalez, Students column, The Chronicle of Higher Education, April 10, 2011. Studies conducted by MDRC have found that, "while students [in learning communities] do make academic gains, such as progressing more quickly through developmental courses, the gains don't persist beyond the semester students are involved in the learning community." Authors acknowledge that these are early findings and that later findings may prove different results.

See especially #9: US Education vs. The World: Education Spending (and performance) and #10 - 10 Shocking U.S. Education Statistics, which includes stats on high school dropouts, math anxiety, and how education impacts earning potential.
