Description
Would America's schools be better served if teachers shared more of the authority that professors have long enjoyed? Will a slow revolution be completed that enables schoolteachers to shoulder more responsibility for hiring, mentoring, promoting, and, if necessary, firing their peers? This book explores these questions.
