The book is filled with specific strategies for developing a vision, building a positive school-wide culture, developing effective teamwork and decision-making skills, evaluating progress on reform efforts, and using feedback for continuous improvement. Each chapter is illustrated with vignettes of student empowerment. This book reflects the practical application of current organizational development theory. This book will be useful to grade 7-12 administrators, teachers, central office curriculum and staff developers, and postsecondary faculty in administrator preparation programs.
