Summary

The New American School will emerge from the ashes of the old. An underlying premise of the present book is that such a rebirth will occur in the process of restructuring. Restructuring in education is the designing, staffing, programming, and building of the school around learning, the central function of every educational organization. In the following pages, this definition will be elaborated, and methods will be offered for restructuring schools in order to realize a truly New American School.
