A must read...

Research with heart. Rosenholtz shares quality research on what makes elementary schools effective. (I believe that the work can be used for other levels.) In a very readable style, Rosenholtz describes what separates ineffective and effective schools. It is the definition of teaching that is crucial, followed by what a staff does because of that definition. In a nutshell, the level of collegiality among teachers is vital to a school's success. The book balances research with explanation that has a lovely tone of caring and sincerity. I believe it to be an important, relevant book. --Jack Bender, author of Disregarded: Transforming the School and Workplace through Deep Respect and Courage
