After her school wins the coveted United States National Secondary
Education Award, a school principal embarks upon an educational
odyssey. The principal discovers that the reasons for winning the
award are a sham! As her school falls apart, she begins to reflect
on the stagnant school organization and the ineffective
prescriptions for improvement. She wonders why as a democratic
nation, American schools do not model the practice of democracy for
students. The principal begins her quest to unearth the flaws in
her own thinking about the way schools work in her quest to create
more democratic schools. Endeavoring to understand how systems
really work, the principal puts her new ideas into practice and
shares with the reader the lessons learned from past practices.
This book presents a guide for principals in the form of rules that
suggest that educational leaders must ask themselves why they do
what they do. It also takes readers through a series of vignettes
focused on how principals can practice democracy in the
schoolhouse, while challenging themselves and their school
community.
