For five years, McDonald charted the progress of ten schools in the Coalition of Essential Schools as they immersed themselves in the hard work of school reform. He also visited many other schools, both elementary and secondary, in an attempt to understand serious school reform and its prospects.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Business is increasingly interested in responding positively to environmental issues in the 1990s.
