by Kim Farris-Berg (Author), Edward J. Dirkswager (Author), Amy Junge (Commentaries by)

Examining the experiences of teachers who are already trusted to call the shots, this book answers: What would teachers do if they had the autonomy not just to make classroom decisions, but to collectively--with their colleagues--make the decisions influencing whole school success? Decisions such as school curriculum, how to allocate the school budget, and who to hire.
