Description and Table of Contents

Description

Two of the most difficult challenges to school reform are time and the resistance of older teachers to the proposed changes. Based on a large research study involving over 4000 teachers, this book provides a new framework for both issues by placing teacher participation in the change efforts in a direct relationship to time. Quotations from teachers and vignettes of change efforts support the central concepts.
