摘要:This is the story of the creation of a new kind of high school that truly aspires to educate all students to high standards. Believing that a deeply personalized culture can prevent the senseless violence that has invaded many public schools, educators at Souhegan High School in Amherst, New Hampshire set out to create a safe, caring, and academically rigorous school. In this volume, the editors (a teacher and a principal) chronicle their experiences as they worked through the many challenges that ultimately resulted in this successful school.
