A Community That Values Learning.
Toussaint, Nicolette
Thrust for Educational Leadership, v28 n1 p26-28,35 Sep-Oct 1998
Although the new principal of an innercity California school vowed to improve student achievement, the students could not learn amidst demoralized teachers in chaotic classrooms. Community-building had to come first. The principal met with parents and asked them to write behavior rules for the school. Various discipline, partnership, and literacy efforts have boosted student achievement. (MLH)
