- 摘要: In a Los Angeles neighborhood plagued by guns, gangs, and drugs, there is a classroom known as Room 56. The fifth graders inside are first-generation immigrants who live in poverty and speak English as a second language. They also play Vivaldi, perform Shakespeare, score in the top 1% on standardized tests, and go on to attend Ivy League universities. Rafe Esquith is the teacher responsible for these accomplishments. Here, he reveals his techniques. The classroom's mottoes are "Be nice, work hard," and "There are no shortcuts." His students voluntarily come to school at 6:30 in the morning and work until 5:00 in the afternoon. They pair Hamlet with rock and roll, learn to handle money responsibly, tackle algebra, and travel the country to study history. This is an inspiring road map for parents, teachers, and anyone who cares about the future success of our nation's children.--From publisher description.

雷夫．艾斯奎
◎美國唯一獲得美國總統頒贈【國家藝術獎章】的傑出老師。
◎英國伊麗莎白女皇授予【M.B.E.（Member of the British Empire）】勳章
◎達賴喇嘛頒贈的【化慈悲為行動獎】
◎歐普拉溫芙瑞的【善用生命獎】
◎美國親子教育雜誌Parents的【伴你成長獎】
過去25年來，艾斯奎一直在洛杉磯的霍伯特小學擔任五年級的老師，該校為美國第二大小學，學生人數超過2000人，高達九成的學生家庭處於貧窮邊緣，且多出自非英語系的家庭。
艾斯奎就跟大多數積極革新的教育家一樣，不認同專制的考試制度、虛偽的有教無類的教育方針以及官僚化的教育體系。但是他仍然用學校的基本課程創造出奇蹟──發展「終身閱讀」、「親手做勞作」、「金錢管理」、「以運動為本」的課程。
他所任教的「第56號教室」，其學生是多為移民之子，家裡的經濟狀況都不好，多半沒有自己的房子。為了讓學生可以提早了解真實世界的經濟運作模式，以及培養理財的觀財，雷夫還為第56教室設計了一個特別的經濟體系。你想像的到嗎？學生必須打工賺錢來租自己的座位，若是你夠有錢，甚至還可以買下它，租給其他的同學……。當然這一切都是使用第56教室自己的貨幣。
除此之外，莎翁戲劇的演出更是這一整個學年的高潮。這並不是一個只為了取悅他人的表演而已，雷夫希望藉由一個完整戲劇的籌備與演出，讓學生體驗到何謂團隊合作，還有語言的重要與影響力。
或許有些人認為雷夫的教學模式很瘋狂、前衛，不過，這一切都是雷夫精心設計的，他希望用一種像「無視於頭髮著火似的熱情」來教導這些孩子，讓他們能充分發揮潛能，做好充分準備，迎向未來的挑戰。
現前他和妻子芭芭拉定居於洛杉磯。
