Product Description
Social organization varies greatly from school to school, and this variation fosters different, though equally valid, conceptions of teaching. In this book, the author presents problems and successes that recur in 78 diverse elementary schools. Through qualitative (teacher questionnaires and open-ended interviews) and quantitative research, Rosenholtz enlightens the reader to realize the promise of some teachers impacting their school systems on a district-level magnitude, as well as the perils of other teachers being impacted by the same system. By recognizing the universality of this dual nature, the author believes teachers can affect their teaching environment, and their personal future, for the better.

Research with heart. Rosenholtz shares quality research on what makes elementary schools effective. (I believe that the work can be used for other levels.) In a very readable style, Rosenholtz describes what separates ineffective and effective schools. It is the definition of teaching that is crucial, followed by what a staff does because of that definition. In a nutshell, the level of collegiality among teachers is vital to a school's success. The book balances research with explanation that has a lovely tone of caring and sincerity. I believe it to be an important, relevant book.
--Jack Bender, author of Disregarded: Transforming the School and Workplace through Deep Respect and Courage
