"Schools that Learn is a magnificent, grand book that pays equal attention to the small and the big picture - and what's more integrates them. There is no book on education change that comes close to Senge et al's sweeping and detailed treatment. Classroom, school, community, systems, citizenry---it's all there. The core message is stirring: what if we viewed schools as a means of shifting society for the better!-Michael Fullan, author of "Change Leader" and "Learning Places" "A rich, much-needed remedy for the standardized, assembly-line, industrial-age institutions that comprise too much of our school system today. Chock full of useful tools, ideas, and exercises, this book is ideal for the many teachers and parents who are intent on resurrecting and fostering students' inherent drive to learn. For educators working to reconnect learning with real life, SCHOOLS THAT LEARN is as essential resource." -Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of DRIVE and A WHOLE NEW MIND "The idea that schools themselves can and must learn is the most important idea in education and this is the classic and indispensable guide to how that happens."--David W. Orr, Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics at Oberlin College "This book is an absolute feast of riches; its many stories and case examples prove once again that 'the solutions we need are already here' - solutions created by the caring, generosity and brilliance of everyday people working in education."--Margaret J. Wheatley, author of "Leadership and the New Science" and many other books. "This book is an essential chronicle of where our schools and communities are truly caring for our children. A much needed antidote to the assault on teachers and public education that dominates the news. A book of modern educational heroes and the thinking that is the foundation of their work."-Peter Block. author of "Community: The Art of Belonging" "At a time when
