"It was a pleasure reading Getting Excited About
Students are Stakeholders Too uses a semi-fictionalized narrative
to paint a picture of how an ordinary school, with only its
existing resources, can engage students and create a
student-learning-centered culture. Every person in this story is
modeled after a real person (or many) that Holcomb has seen in
action. The school in the book is a composite of several real-life
settings the author has visited, incorporating other personal
observations and documented sources. Holcomb's intention is to show
what can happen when a principal begins to seek out student voices
and open doors for greater interaction among adults and students.
The foundation for the book is based on her belief that students
can help us shape better schools and in doing so, they will learn
lessons that will help them shape a better world. The book features
"Questions for Reflection" and "Content for Consideration" at the
end of each chapter, as well as Epilogues from a Principal,
Graduate, Student Leader, Future Teacher and Author. The epilogues
that close the book were co-written with some of the actual persons
upon whom the book's characters are based. Their reflections reveal
the real-world challenges that are inherent in change.
