Riassunto

A firsthand account of outstanding principals' experiences in shared-governance schools is presented in this book on democratic principal leadership. In particular, the book fills the knowledge gap - the current lack of research-based information on collaborative school-restructuring methods - that has caused many attempts at school restructuring to fail.
