Description
Many school decision-makers and educational practitioners talk about developing an ultimate school work environment, but few actually move beyond the talk. It is very common for individuals in positions of power to make statements about how great it is to work in the school while the rest of the employees know the “real” work situation. The information in this book helps administrators to move beyond words and discover what it takes to turn words into reality and actually transform a school into an ultimate school work environment.

One of the ongoing challenges in schooling is how to create environments where students and teachers can do their best work. Daniel Wentland has penned a practical and useful book on how to create dynamic, supportive, and invigorating environments. This easy-to-read volume provides the kind of sensible advice that will apply to any school—public or private, elementary or vocational.
