Ted Kolderie told me about teacher-led schools 2000. He convinced me to visitMinnesota New Country School (MNCS) where teachers had created an innovative project-based and fully individualized school -- and they were in charge. MNCS teachers had formed a co-op and applied for a charter and operated with full autonomy. I announced that it was "the coolest school in America."
Trusting Teacher With School Success , a new book by Kim Farris-Berg and Edward Dirkswager, is an in depth look at teacher-led schools--why and how they work and the key ingredients of success. Every teacher should have the opportunity to work in a teacher-led environment and should read this book to find out why.
