Reviews

  • Breakthrough schools require breakthrough practices, and Breaking the Mold of School Instruction and Organization provides a guide for how to do just that that. Leadership, English learners, building classroom communities all these topics and more are addressed. The stories of successes across town and across the world will resonate with every reader interested in school reform. And the good news is that the advice is not to simply work harder, but rather to work smarter.

    Nancy Frey, professor of literacy, School of Teacher Education, San Diego State University

  • Breaking the Mold of School Instruction and Organization includes important ideas on teaching, leadership, and partnerships that will motivate students to learn and improve schools in wonderful ways. In chapter after chapter, the authors show that teachers and administrators have choices between the conventional vs. the creative, the isolated vs. the connected, and between old ways vs. new ways to organize schools, engage families and communities, and excite students about school and about learning. So many good ideas-tested and in practice-await others to see the point.

    Joyce L. Epstein, director, Center on School, Family, and Community Partnerships and National Network of Partnership Schools, and research profess

  • Breaking the Mold of School Instruction and Organization is a once-in-a-blue-moon book written with you in mind. Editors Andrea Honigsfeld and Audrey Cohan have gathered forward-thinking minds to bring you a collection of chapters that provide eye-opening experiences from twenty-first century teaching to learner-centered classrooms. You will gain invaluable insight from a leadership, design, teaching, and learning perspective. Individual stories throughout the book emphasize the importance of the relationship between education and design, leadership and teaching, and students and learning.

    Judith Patzke Hoskens, president, Council of Educational Facility Planners International

  • Editors Andrea Honigsfeld and Audrey Cohan have featured visionary educational leaders and change agents who successfully address the challenges of guiding students to master the knowledge, skills, and aptitudes necessary to live, work, and thrive in the twenty-first century. A broad range of educators share their personal experiences or research about others regarding what works in reaching and teaching youth. The book identifies holistic approaches to redesigning schools by involving students, teachers, administrators, parents, community leaders, and resources in the learning process.

    Shirley A. Griggs, professor emerita, St. John's University
