| Editorial Review | "Presents a workbook-style blend of information about assessment, the change process, differentiated instruction, and other pedagogical approaches with strategies encouraging reflection, conversation, and research among groups of educators. The book is filled with inspirational quotes, thoughtful questions, and challenging directives to further encourage reader reflection." -- PsycCRITIQUES, August 2007, Vol. 52(33) "Presents staff, students, administrators and parents with a road map to a 'grand vision,' and invites us to join the highest of all human enterprises-the creating of a better world, starting with our schools. Provides every school staff the opportunity and tools to create a school engendering and affirming that deepest and most pervasive human drive, the drive to learn." -- Lucianne B. Carmichael, Principal, McDonogh 15 School, New Orleans, LA "Simply and beautifully weds theory and practice! This book should be on all administrators' desks as they go about the critical task of education for young people today. Brings forth the finest in theory and the best in practice and at the same time affirms the values that our society was built on and through which it will thrive." -- Brother Jeffrey L. Calligan, Auxiliary Provincial and Director of Education "This timely book is exactly what modern schools need, blending Fullan's theoretical genius about change with practical strategies that can work in any school. Readers will discover that it is practical, easy to use, and empowering for educators, with lots of room for personal choices at the school level." -- Lyn Sharratt, Superintendent of Curriculum and Instructional Services "Learning Places will help all of us transform schools and their classrooms into cultures hospitable to human learning. I wish I had had this field guide during my own turbulent years as a school principal." -- Roland S. Barth, Author, Lessons Learned "The book is a very easy read-good for busy practitioners. No matter where you are in the process, you can jump in and use the tools." -- Teri White, Principal "It is necessary to keep our eyes on the real work of improving our schools and not be sidetracked into jumping through hoops that are in the end not meaningful. This book provides the reader with that opportunity." -- Nic Cooper, Principal "This book is an easy read and provides a well developed idea of framing the school context for student achievement. The author provides excellent resources, worksheets, templates, walk-through and reflection ideas, and additional support materials." -- Rosemarie Young, Past President show less |
