Inventing Better Schools
An Action Plan for Educational Reform

This book, like most books, is the result of a great deal of lonely ef- fort on my part along with a great deal of inspiration and support from many others. I will not endeavor to list all of those who have supported and inspired me over the years. However, I would like to acknowledge some who have provided specific help on this book.
First, I would like to thank the entire staff at the Center for Leadership in School Reform: Ron Barber, Dennis Boswell, John Campbell, Rick Campbell, Joan Cole, Jack Edwards, Marilyn Hohmann, Judythe Hummel, Tom Johnson, Robert Nolte, Darlene Settles, Linda Shelor, Barbara Smith, George Thompson, Margaret Vowels, and Joan Wimsatt. I am especially indebted to Hugh Cas- sell, who edits all my material, and to Tena Lutz, my assistant and a person upon whom I depend for support in nearly every profes- sional activity I undertake.
