Beschreibungen

Schlechty shows both educators and parents how to envision reform and design quality educational systems. He explains how the visioning process must be rooted in real shared beliefs, how mission statements must unpack visions into concrete goals that are connected to action, and how the results of reform can be usefully assessed. Drawing on the author's vast experience in the day-to-day work of implementing school reform, Inventing Better Schools offers new approaches for setting standards and ensuring accountability--and includes samples of actual mission statements and strategic plans of successful school districts.

"Schlechty offers a clear and concise vision of systemic change to address the problems with education."—The School Administrator <p/> In this powerful wake-up call to educators, Phillip Schlechty argues that schools must change or become obsolete—and that central to this change is a rethinking of old rules, roles, and relationships. Inventing Better Schools offers a plan of attack that is thoughtful, practical, and full of step-by-step advice. Schlechty shows both educators and parents how to envision reform and design quality educational systems. He explains how the visioning process must be rooted in real shared beliefs, how mission statements must unpack visions into concrete goals that are connected to action, and how the results of reform can be usefully assessed. He points out that reinventing schools must be looked upon as a continual process—and provides leaders with the tools to negotiate their way through it. <p/> Drawing on the author's vast experience in the day-to-day work of implementing school reform, Inventing Better Schools offers new approaches for setting standards and ensuring accountability—and includes samples of actual mission statements and strategic plans of successful school districts. <p/> <subhead/> Inventing Better Schools is a winner of the National Staff Development Counsel Book Award <p/> "Schlechty marshals readers through the ideas-to-action labyrinth of improving schools. . . .
