Gary Lilyquist synthesizes such innovative concepts as, systems thinking, mental models, effective school research, and Deming's theories of management to propose the new Balance Alignment Model, a wide-ranging approach for fostering school improvement. Three case studies demonstrate why schools are not improving and how Lilyquist's model can facilitate student learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Documented realities that will make or break our schools!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Are Schools Really Like This?: Factors Affecting Teacher Attitude Toward School Improvement (Innovations in Science Education and Technology) (Paperback)
Dr. Lilyquist has documented realities that will in time make or break public schools. His clear and concise reporting of the conditions of relationships in schools points a brite light on "THE SYSTEM." I was able to continue the read because of his positive comments about what was working and the fact that we as educators, adminisrators, political types, and community members can change what is not working. The first place this book belongs is in the hands of graduate students studying school administration but, by no means should the message end there.
