Improving Schools from Within: Teachers, Parents, and Principals Can Make the Difference

Resource Type

Book

Description

"A humane blueprint for school reform that--instead of starting with a `deficiency' model of what teachers can't do and giving them `inservice' workshops ad infinitum--would build on the educational staff's existing strengths. The New York Times Book Review. Barth shows how communication, collegiality, and risk-taking among adults can create an atmosphere of learning and leadership for all."--
