Ahead of its Time

When my co-editors and I were privileged to be able to compile the inspiring examples in this book, those who developed their models were well ahead of their time. In the ensuing years, the George Lucas Education Foundation has recognized and created videos of many of these sites in action ([...]) and there have been many empirical studies documenting the connection of EQ and IQ (see [...] for a summary). The U.S. Department of Education is now focusing on school culture and climate, realizing that caring and successful schools is not a term that can be further reduced. Successful schools, including academic success, are caring, safe, and civil schools. This book contains the work of those who have led in the science and practice of this point of view, and whose tenacity and foresight have been vindicated by emerging science, practice, and policy in education.
