Synopsis

Creating the New American School: A Principal's Guide to School Improvement, by Richard DuFour and Robert Eaker, synthesizes research on the nation's exemplary learning organizations to outline powerful, practical means of managing change and improvement in schools.

About the Author

During Richard DuFour's tenure as superintendent at Adlai E.Stevenson High School District in Illinois, the school has been named as one of America's best six times and has received commendations from the U.S. Department of Education and the College Board. Dr. DuFour is the only administrator in Illinois to receive the state's highest award as both a principal and superintendent. He also has been named as one of the nation's "Top 100" school administrators by Executive Educator magazine, and been designated as an "Instructional Leader" by the Illinois Principals Association.

Robert Eaker is a nationally known authority on instructional leadership, having written widely on the issues of effective teaching, effective schools, and student achievement. He has spoken at numerous national forums, such as NASSP, ASCD, and the National Center for Effective Schools, and was chosen by Phi Delta Kappa for a "People in Educational Evaluation and Research" interview series. Dr. Eaker is the former Dean of the College of Education at Middle Tennessee State University and former fellow with the National Center for Effective Schools Research and Development.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
