Karen Seashore Louis and Matthew B. Miles, published by Teachers College Press (1990, 352 pages)Urban high schools (and others) are in trouble. Students are seriously underachieving or dropping out. Buildings are decaying, equipment is missing, teachers are discouraged, administrators are harried, and parents are desperate. What's to be done? While there have been numerous descriptions of effective schools and teaching, the question is: How do we get there? We need to know what works and why. This book provides the clear, concise, experience-based information that educators need today. Based on a nationwide school survey, in-depth case studies, and improvement literature, the authors illuminate school-based leadership and improvement, pointing to the key factors required for real change.
