Going beyond the classroom and into the offices of school personnel, this book stresses the importance of each educator's own continuous-improvement journey as a means of best serving the needs of students. This book provides a framework for evaluating a school organization and processes a school can implement in order to foster organizational dedication to ongoing, schoolwide improvement"-- Provided by publisher.
