Are You Ready To Restructure?

This book is designed to be a resource for people who want to give serious thought to changing their schools in some fundamental fashion. To achieve this aim, it includes material of interest not only to administrators, teachers, and boards of education, but also to parents, community members, and many students. Leaders in both the private and public sectors realize that those who do "front-line" work need to be involved in making decisions about how their organization is run, and they also need to be capable of making good decisions. They need both information and opportunity. This book will help provide people in schools, education's "front line," with better information to use as they make decisions that will affect their schools.
