Education consultants Kilgore and Reynolds (both Modern Red SchoolHouse Institute) have been involved with reorganizing school life for the past two decades. They offer school administrators a guide to applying a systems thinking approach to managing the various causes of school-wide problems. Using the authors' research-based structures and processes will allow teachers to improve student learning and well-being, and principals to enable voices to be heard beyond the classroom walls and provide support for innovative classroom practices. Opening chapters focus on the organizational processes and structure that schools need to have in place. Subsequent chapters examine six core issues typically addressed by an action team: school culture and climate, data analysis, family and community partnerships, curriculum and instruction, technology, and professional development.
