44. Results in Guilford County "It is not enough to attract teachers to low performing schools. You must attract the ‘right’ teachers to those schools--teachers who get academic results. Working with Dr. Martin Haberman and his staff has helped us take the guess work out of teacher selection." Dr. Terry Grier,Superintendent, Guilford County Schools, Greensboro, North Carolina.(2007)‏
