Additional Book Details
<p>A ground-breaking look at how access to decision making in the public schools can be extended to all, even previously excluded segments of the community.</p><p>Winner of the 2001 American Educational Studies Association Critics' Choice Award </p><p>Much has been made of the gap between public schools and the communities that they serve. This book shows how a group of teachers, parents, and community people in "Ed City" formed an educational reform group-the Project for Educational Democracy-to increase access to decision making in their school system, especially for members of the community who had previously been excluded. A combination of ethnographic research and theoretical reflection, this book addresses concepts of community, authority, representation, participation, and democracy.</p>
