Here is a book that challenges educators to put aside outmoded images of what is unlikely to push education far or fast enough to make a difference. Underlying each chapter is the belief and the 'how to' that allows for the development of a community culture that matches the changing condition of a changing society and student success' -Lee Mahon, Professor/Mentor, Doctoral Studies The Fielding Institute, Santa Barbara, CA
