Acknowledgments

The materials for IMAGES were prepared under the leadership of Janie Zimmer and the Pennsylvania State Team of the Mid-Atlantic Eisenhower Consortium at Research for Better Schools (RBS). The editorial team for the second edition-Janie Zimmer, Arlene Dowshen, and Dennis Ebersole-has contributed much expertise, time, energy, and creativity to this project. Thanks to the many dedicated individuals who were so generous in bringing their considerable knowledge to bear in developing content and guiding the materials through the final stages of editing. Finally, thanks to the teachers and students at St. Patrick's School in Woodbury, N.J. for allowing us to take the photos included in this publication.
