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 out of the box implementation of ideas, he enlivened the class with quirky but accessible projects that appeal to all students.
About the Publisher Many great things begin with a tiny spark, and for Manuel H. Barron that spark came from a mimeograph machine in the basement of his Brooklyn, NY, bookstore in the late 1930s. People from the community asked Mr. Barron for books 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.
Now, more than 80 years later, Barrons continues to help millions of learners worldwide prepare for their next steps. With offerings from pre-college prep to world language guides and professional certification exams, Barrons wants to be part of your success story no matter what learning path youre on. You can trust Barrons to provide exceptional products created only by top experts with years of experience in education.
