Abstract

Are you tired of making positive reform in one part of your middle school, only to be frustrated by difficulties in another? Let Barry Raebeck introduce you to whole-school change. Raebeck is a former principal and administrator who successfully transformed his school into an energetic and joyful, yet academically rigorous, center of learning. He provides insightful analysis of the current condition of our schools and systematically guides the reader through transformation of student discipline, scheduling and organization, teacher teaming, curriculum integration, grading scales, and tracking and grouping.
