Inventing Better Schools : An Action Plan for Educational Reform

A hands-on, practical guide to leading and implementing school restructuring and educational reform. Building on the strategic framework for school reform outlined in his first book, "Schools for the 21st Century", Phillip Schlechty presents an action plan in this book for implementing those reforms. With strategies and step-by-step advice, "Inventing Better Schools" guides local school leaders, teachers, parents and community leaders through each stage of school restructuring and reform, from developing a mission statement and setting goals to creating district support for change and assessing results.
