About the Author Seth Reichelson is a 2015 White House Champion of Change, College Board Summer Institute Teacher, and IBM Champion. As a Computer Science teacher at Lake Brantley High school and Ocoee High School, he grew his computer program with grassroots activism. Through his unflappable likability and out of the box implementation of ideas, he enlivened the class with quirky but accessible projects that appeal to all students. Putting his charismatic legitimacy to paper truly has been an epic adventure for all involved including his Labradors. Seth Reichelson is a long time High School teacher and Labrador Retriever enthusiast.
About the Publisher In the 1930s, Manuel H. Barron opened a bookstore in Brooklyn, New York.
People from the community asked Mr. Barron about books that might be available to help their children study for the New York State Regents exams. After realizing there wasn't anything available, Mr. Barron created his own study guides.
80 years later, Barron's has helped millions of people prepare for their next step.
