How To Grow A School / Chris Mercogliano

Public ISBD Title : How To Grow A School : Starting and Sustaining Schools That Work Material Type: printed text Authors: Chris Mercogliano, Author Publisher: The Oxford Village Publication Date: 2006 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-945700-06-7 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Activism and Community Organizing Education Parenting Abstract: Provides valuable information and guidance to parents, educators, homeschooling familiesóanyone with an interest in the future of our children. In addition to examining the core characteristics of any good learning environment and the basic steps involved in starting one, it chronicles the start-up of 18 uncommon schools and learning centersówhenever possible in the voices of their founders. There is great wisdom in these stories. Each one is a unique example of how an individual or group managed to bring to life their vision of education. There is abundant inspiration in them, too, because in nearly every instance the explorers were faced with navigating the shoal-filled waters beyond convention without reliable charts, often relying on serendipity and synchronicity to keep them on course. Not all of the examples are "success stories," for lack of a better term, because there is much to be learned from others' misfortunes and mistakes.
