How Communities Build Stronger Schools: Stories, Strategies and Promising Practices for Educating Every Child (2003)Hardcover - 2003, 2 May 2003

If it takes a village to raise a child, Anne Wescott Dodd and Jean L. Konzal feel that it takes a community to make a school. Not content with the idea of a school being contained within four walls and existing only for a few hours every day, Dodd and Konzal know that a school which looks after the complete child exists far beyond its four walls and for the whole 24 hours in each day. They present a radical democratic vision of the public school where everyone-not just students, teachers and parents-plays a part in shaping our children and, consequently, our future.
