Schools That Learn (updated and revised second edition) - A Fifth
Discipline Fieldbook for Educators, Parents, and Everyone Who Cares
About Education
Book description
A NEW EDITION OF THE GROUNDBREAKING BOOK A new edition - revised
and updated with over 100 pages of new material - of the
groundbreaking book that brings the principles of organizational
learning to today's schools and classrooms. A unique collaboration
between the celebrated management thinker and Fifth Discipline author
Peter Senge, and a team of renowned educators and organizational
change leaders, the revised edition of Schools The Learn addresses the
new and unique pressures on our educational system that have emerged
since the book's initial publication in 2000. In a fast-changing world
where school populations are increasingly diverse, children live in
ever-more-complex social and media environments, standardized tests
are applied as overly simplistic "quick fixes," and advances
in science and technology continue to accelerate, the pressures on our
educational system are inescapable. Schools That Learn offers a
much-needed way to open dialogue about these problems Â- and provides
pragmatic opportunities to transform school systems into learning
organizations.
Peter Senge was named as one of the 24 people who had "the
greatest influence on business strategy over the last 100 years" by
the Journal of Business Strategy. PETER SENGE, senior lecturer at MIT
and the founding chair of the Society for Organizational Learning (SoL),
is the author or co-author of several bestselling books, including The
Fifth Discipline, Schools That Learn, and Presence. BRYAN SMITH,
coauthor with Senge of The Dance of Change and two other Fifth
Discipline fieldbooks, is a member of the faculty at York University's
Sustainable Enterprise Academy, and president of Broad Reach
Innovations, Inc.
