商品簡介
This collection presents case studies and commentary dealing with improvements to school practice in a time of high stakes accountability. Editors Ponder (U. of North Carolina) and Strahan (Western Carolina U.) open the volume with a discussion of the concept of "deep change," in which schools and programs use the impetus of accountability measures to transform their cultures and reach higher levels of performance. The remaining contributions describe the efforts and accomplishments of teachers, principals, and students in local districts and individual schools. The volume is not indexed.
