\"\"A new book co-authored by Ian Mette, associate professor of educational leadership in the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development, provides a set of practical guidelines for educational leaders striving to renew their schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Essential Renewal of America\u2019s Schools: A Leadership Guide for Democratizing Schools from the Inside Out\u201d will be published by Teachers College Press in April. It provides a three-part framework for schools, districts and community leaders focused on creating locally guided initiatives to accomplish local goals.<\/p>\n

Co-authored by Carl Glickman, professor emeritus at the University of Georgia, the book is filled with real-world examples, charts and illustrations that give teachers, principals, students, parents, central office personnel, school boards and community members exactly what is needed to enhance their schools. Ultimately, the book provides a roadmap for using classroom applications to replace dependence on top-down state and federal mandates while explaining how schools can gain greater autonomy from strict external regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cA commitment by local educational and community leaders to democratizing schools is an essential step toward creating a healthier and more equitable society,\u201d says Mette.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarl and I put a lot of thought into this framework, and we are excited to hear from educators who we hope will find it useful in bringing democratic reforms to their schools,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

This is Mette\u2019s first book. His research and teaching interests include instructional supervision, school reform and the merging of the two to drive meaningful improvement of educational systems. Specifically, his work targets how educators, researchers and policymakers can better inform one another to drive school improvement and reform policy. Mette is founding editor of the Journal of Educational Supervision<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Glickman is professor emeritus at UGA\u2019s Mary Frances Early College of Education. He is the author of 16 books on school leadership, democracy and the moral imperative of public education. \u201cThe Essential Renewal of America\u2019s Schools\u201d builds on some of the themes explored in his acclaimed 1993 book, \u201cRenewing America\u2019s Schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Essential Renewal of America\u2019s Schools: A Leadership Guide for Democratizing Schools from the Inside Out\u201d will be available on the Teachers College Press website<\/a> on April 17.<\/p>\n
