31 Joseph DiMartino John H. Clarke Mary Tedrow-reviewer 2008 <p>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. &ldquo;It all sounds great,&rdquo; says reviewer Mary Tedrow. &ldquo;But coming from a teacher&rsquo;s perspective, I cannot imagine this book being useful until it is in the hands of open-minded, inspired leadership. I&rsquo;m not convinced that we have enough of those yet in place to make a nationwide difference.&rdquo;</p>
