Summary

Schools derived of learning community cultures consistently provide students better learning outcomes than traditional schools. The book argues that the current approach to preparing teachers as independent agents via on campus classes is not only ineffective, but deprives teachers of extensive development opportunities. The proper location of teacher induction and development is in local schools that are derived of a learning community culture where teachers have a full career of professional development.
