From the publisher

"A humane blueprint for school reform that--instead of startingwith a 'deficiency' model of what teachers can't do and giving them'inservice' workshops ad infinitum--would build on the educationalstaff's existing strengths." --The New York Times BookReview

Barth hows how communication, collegiality, and risk-takingamong adults can create an atmosphere of learning and leadershipfor all.

First line

A medieval curse, uttered as a final expression of pique and condemnation, resounds, "May you have to teach other people's children."
