Summary

Summary

In this book, Bailey argues that most of the problems affecting US schools today are related to the basic organizational power and structure of school districts. The larger the district, the worse the problems become.

The author offers practical strategies to assist educational leaders in the transformation necessary to restructure and empower schools. He recognizes the enormously complicated task involved and provides a checklist for school administrators to follow to ensure that teachers are prepared for the kinds of changes restructuring requires.
