Professional Practice Schools

Written by nationally respected experts, this collection addresses the substantive, political, and organisational questions that arise with the creation of professional practice schools. Basing their writings on practical experience, contributors integrate the restructuring of schools with the redesigning of teacher education, placing student learning at the core of any plan for change. This book is intended for anyone concerned with designing an educational environment that upholds standards for good practice and assumes the responsibility for training new teachers. Contributors include Ellen M. Pechman, Mary M. Kennedy, Linda Darling-Hammond, Ann Lieberman, Lynne Miller, Holly M. Houston, and Barbara Neufeld.
