We would like to acknowledge the advice of teachers from all over the world who participated in online
reviews, focus groups, and editorial reviews. We relied heavily on teacher input throughout the extensive
development process of the Q series, and many of the features in the series came directly from feedback
we gathered from teachers in the classroom. We are grateful to all who helped.
