Schools That Learn: A Fifth Discipline Fieldbook for Teachers, Administrators, Parents and Everyone Who Cares About Education: A Fieldbook for Teachers, ... Education

Since the Fifth Discipline principles were defined they have been used by many educators. Now Peter Senge and the Fifth Discipline team have produced Schools that Learn, focusing specifically on schools and education, which can help reclaim schools even in the most depressed or ill-managed districts. This book brings together practices which are being used in the real world as schools attempt to learn, grow and reinvent themselves using learning organisation principles, and features numerous case studies from prominent educators. In a fast-changing world where: * school violence is not uncommon, * the value of standardised tests is questioned, * rapid advances in science and technology threaten to leave students woefully unprepared, * and increased pressures cause many teachers to burn out long before retirement age, Schools that Learn offers a much-needed foundation for the dialogue about the future of educating children, and a wealth of practical tools, anecdotes and advice which parents and educators can use to make schools better.
