Sad news from Baltimore. Slavin had an enormous impact on reading instruction, keen insights and practices on the importance of buy-in at the school level, and positively impacted a lot of lives.

It is with deep sadness that I must inform you that Robert Slavin passed away suddenly Saturday evening. Bob was committed to changing the face of education, and did so with intelligence, heart, and humor. We have lost a great friend and visionary whose impact will continue.
