Comer (of the Yale Child Study Center and the Yale U. School of Medicine) has chosen his title not in support of the Bush administration's high-stakes testing agenda enshrined in the legislation of the same name but to highlight the idea that the true goal of the maxim to "leave no child behind" should be to focus on the individual development of children and the promotion of improved education as social justice. Those principles have been incorporated into the mission of the School Development Program of the Yale Child Study Center, founded in the late 1960s and profiled in this text. The lessons of the School Development Program's experiences working with schools are described and their lessons for an effective education reform agenda in the United States are examined.
