Work of Restructuring Schools: Building from the Ground Up (the series on school reform) - Softcover
Synopsis
The contributors to this work, including Betty Lou Whitford, Rodman B. Webb and Linda Darling-Hammond, tell a set of stories about real schools, teachers and administrators who face district and state mandates concerning restructuring. It describes the trials and tribulations that they encounter and offers an insight into the lessons that can be learned from these individual experiences. This book provides educators and university faculty with a source guide of compelling case studies and analyses in which readers can see themselves and their contexts (or not) and learn lessons in the restructuring movement that the schools in this book had to learn for themselves. This text is intended for: educational researchers; administrators; policy makers; teachers; union leaders and students of school reform and improvement.

Book Description
“To read (this book) is to step into the heads and minds of those who courageously make restructuring happen. This is a richly textured and deeply thoughtful book, full of imagery, free from jargon
.”
—Andy Hargreaves, The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education
“These up-close instances of school change take us into the struggle of reinventing culture and practice to illuminate the ways in which the multiple contexts of school both enable and frustrate
The Work of Restructuring Schools.”
—Milbrey McLaughlin, Stanford University
“It is important that we have careful and useful reports from the field, ones which chronicle what is happily possible and why. This important volume gives these to us and signals approaches that deserve new and protected prominence.”
—Theodore R. Sizer, Coalition of Essential Schools
