Putting Teachers at the Center of Reform: Learning Schools and Professional Communities.

Louis, Karen Seashore; And Others

NASSP Bulletin, v80 n580 p9-21 May 1996

A study of two new middle schools demonstrates that reform is difficult to achieve unless teachers are expert in their work, share their expertise, and seek and create new knowledge to support their work. Leading from the center, school leaders figure significantly in expanding learning and developing community even in "teacher-run" schools. (18 references) (MLH)
