Publisher Synopsis
"Battling the Hamster Wheel (TM) takes a hard and honest look at what is and isn't working in our schools. (The author's) humor, common sense, and research have real pay offs for those engaged in reform." -- Armando Alaniz, Assistant Superintendent for High School Improvement and Accountability "Battling the Hamster Wheel (TM) goes well behyond the sphere of eudcation, (which) is only a beginning point. The lessons have real applicability for all of our organizations and for ourselves." -- Sharon E. Barrett, Former Director for Minority and Women "Battling the Hamster Wheel (TM) provides just the right balance between looking at the real truth about our high schools and providing the motivation, skills, and abilities to make real change." -- Melba Kennedy, Louisiana State Department of Education ""Sammon's years of experience in the field as practitioner and consultant have resulted in real rewards for schools serious about the reform process. Her approach in Battling the Hamster Wheel (TM) provides us with a clear image and useful strategies for 'jumping off the wheel' and engaging in a productive process of effective reform." -- Patricia W. McNeil, Former Assistant Secretary "This is one of the few treatises that I have read over the past several years that is based on reality, rather than ideology; on collective learning, rather than philosophical imposition; on the grassroots, rather than that of top-down reformers; and on the 'lay of the land' rather than preconceptions." -- Arnold F. Fege, Director "A comprehensive approach to organizational change. Sammon presents readers with the motivation and strategies to engage in effective, meaningful change." -- Curriculum Connections, Fall 2006 Read more...
