Changing Our Schools: linking school effectiveness and school improvement

Co-authors Stoll and Fink claim the Canadian school system is really good if it were 1965. They use their experiences working in the Halton Schools to establish a prescription for change that links school effectiveness and improvement by defining the purposes behind the change, the processes needed to achieve the goal, and a clear idea of results that should be expected. Their theoretical critique and advice focuses on the why, what, and how of improving schools. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
