Point-by-point strategy summaries round out this enthusiastically recommended resource May 12, 2007
Creating the New American School: A Principal's Guide to School Improvement is a straightforward guide to improving the educational environment for young people, written especially for principals and other school administrators. Chapters discuss how to develop a shared vision of excellence in teaching, the value of developing a focused curriculum, the importance of monitoring critical events, how to sustain improvements, and above all, the concept that a school is only as good as the people running it - that people improvement is the key driving school improvement. Creating the New American School is also packed with invaluable do's and don'ts throughout, such as "The adhocracy strategy can be overused or used badly. In some instances, over-eager administrators have attempted to demonstrate their endorsement of this small-group participatory process by convening task forces to consider the most trivial of issues." Point-by-point strategy summaries round out this enthusiastically recommended resource for public and private school administrators.
