Since it was first invented, Americans have been trying to
re-design the American high school. One of the latest approaches -
funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation - is to find
inventive high school designs that work well in one location and
replicate them in other locations. The authors of this book
followed a design team from Big Picture Learning as it worked to do
exactly this, recording the challenges it faced, and the strategies
it employed. Their accessible and entertaining account of Big
Picture's work is laced with stories about 'scaling up' by other
school design teams, and in other enterprises beyond high school.
Based on careful research, the book is both a practical guide to a
new dimension of school reform, and also an interesting read for
anyone interested in school change.
