Building from the statistics and anecdotal evidence of disengaged students, authors Joseph DiMartino, President of the Center for Secondary School Redesign, and John Clarke, a creator of professional development schools with 42 years of practical experience in classrooms, have assembled a guide to creating student-centered high schools. “It all sounds great,” says reviewer Mary Tedrow. “But coming from a teacher’s perspective, I cannot imagine this book being useful until it is in the hands of open-minded, inspired leadership. I’m not convinced that we have enough of those yet in place to make a nationwide difference.”
