"I commend Andrews' Recognition vs.
Merit Pay to anyone interested    in
improving teaching and learning.    His
findings are always the same: teacher
recognition programs provide more bang
for the buck than merit pay!"
Dr. Gary Davis
former Director
of the Illinois Community Colleges
Trustees Association, USA
----------
"In Recognition vs. Merit Pay Dr. Andrews
has again delivered the right book at the
right time for the K-12 school system."
Marilyn Holt
Superintendent, East Richland Community
Unit #1, Olney, Illinois, USA

"An appealing characteristic of Andrews'
style of authorship is the way he
intertwines past and current research,
testimonials and examples from schools
across different countries with his
effortless attempts at commending
good recognition programs."
Michelle Attard Tonna
Reviewer for Malta Review Educational
Research Journal

"I found Andrews' work an
excellent analysis of the enormous
international challenge facing
governments on a global stage.
Recognition vs. Merit Pay has
touched a nerve within me and
I believe it will do the same
to you."
Tony Richardson

------------
"The Faculty Excellence Award
I received feels like a celebration
of some of the toll teachers and
their families pay. For me, it was
important to share this recognition
with my family, friends, and my
teachers. I could feel their pride
in my success."
Koshu Jagasia
Instructor, Illinois Valley Community College,
Illinois, USA
------------
"Andrews clearly explains how
teacher evaluation and recognition
are critical strategies in ensuring
student success and positive
outcomes. This book should be
of interest to all educators,
governing boards, government
officials and parents."

The Dual-Credit Phenomenon

              The only comprehensive book
             written on this important program
             spreading quickly across America.

                         Many critics of the secondary school
               system in America had suggested the last two
               years of high school have been a waste of time
               for many students. American Community colleges
               and some universities have undertaken reform
               through the creative program of dual-credit.

                      This program allows 'college ready' students
               to   take college level classes that secondary
               schools   also   count   toward   high   school
               diploma completion.

                                   Technical and Career
               Education programs are now shifting in large
               numbers to the "dual-credit" option and away
               from the articulated and college credit in
               escrow options

                      The dual-credit / dual-enrollment
          movement is one of the most significant
          educational innovations to take place over
                           the past 60 years!

                     These programs bring secondary schools
               and higher education into the same arena in
               terms of improving learning opportunities for
               secondary (high school) students.
