The RelenTless PuRsuiT of excellence Dr. Debbie Rickey, assistant dean of Grand
Canyon University's College of Education has co-authored The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence which takes core leadership principles and applies them to districts, schools, and
classrooms. These principles, including a pledge of continuous improvement and a commitment to productivity, have transformed professional performance throughout school districts and made long-term differences for teachers and students. Instead of being a how-to manual, The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence provides decades of informal case studies that empower administrators and teachers to think critically to solve some of the complex issues that face public education.

The Dust Bowl chronicles the worst man-made ecological disaster in American history. Vivid interviews with twenty-six survivors, combined with dramatic photographs and seldom seen movie footage, bring to life stories of incredible human suffering and equally incredible human perseverance.
