How Schools Change cover

The first edition of How Schools Change chronicled the efforts of three very different high schools to improve teaching and learning in the early 1990's. Now, in a new second edition, Wagner concisely summarizes the decade-long history of education reform efforts and revisits the three communities at the beginning of a new century.

"In school reform, three careful case studies are worth 300 reports from blue-ribbon commissions. In How Schools Change, Tony Wagner portrays the trials and the triumphs of three schools engages in reinventing themselves." -- Howard Gardner, author of Creating Minds "Vivid and compelling... A provocative work that argues for a better understanding of the change process before we head off on some new fad."
"Tony Wagner's fresh look at his three subject institutions in How Schools Change reveals sober and useful insights into contemporary educational reform. We must pay close attention to Wagner's conclusions." -- Theodore R. Sizer, Chairman of the Coalition of Essential Schools
