Schools That Learn a Fifth Discipline Fieldbook for Educators, Parents, and Everyone Who Cares About Education
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Bantam Dell Pub Group
- Publish date: 09/01/2000
Description:
Peter Senge and his team have written "Schools That Learn" because educators demanded it. Educators, who have comprised as much as twenty-five percent of the audience for The Fifth Discipline books, have regularly requested a book that focuses specifically on schools and education, and that can help reclaim schools even in depressed or ill-managed districts. The book brings together practices that are being tried across the country, as schools attempt to learn, grow, and reinvent themselves using learning organization principles. Featuring articles and case studies from over seventy-five contributors in the education field, including prominent educators such as Howard Gardner, Jay Forrester, and 1999 "Superintendent of the Year" Gerry House, the book offers a wealth of practical tools, anecdotes, and advice parents and educators can use to make schools better.
Expand description
In a fast-changing world where school violence is not uncommon, the value of standardized 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 much needed grist for the dialogue about the future of educating children into the next century.
