American schools should be laboratories for modeling democratic
concepts. However, our school systems are the antithesis of
democratically run organizations. Teaching professionals, students
and parents have very little power or genuine influence in decision
making. Reframing Decision Making in Education begins by describing
the current status of American schools and concludes with a
description of the organizational structure, leadership, and
decision making practices necessary to make our schools operate in
a manner congruent with those democratic principles we espouse as a
country. This book describe a democratic structure and a decision
making matrix to help reform leaders begin such an endeavor. Woven
through each chapter is a fictional story of Principal Samantha
Levy. We see Ms. Levy's struggles as she begins the process of
making change in her high school and its impact on those around
her.
