"Those who come late are punished by life," is a dictum by Mikhail Gorbachev, which he coined in connection with the introduction of Glasnost "openness" and Perestroika "restructuring." Ideally, schools should also embody openness and undergo continuous restructuring in the pursuit of improvement. If this is not the case, the institution of school is stripped of all dynamics. Alexander Pfister, in his latest book, offers scientifically grounded and practical approaches to transform schools into dynamic and learning organizations with socially engaged students and teachers. The focus is on evaluation, fundraising, and social learning. The content is suitable for all types and forms of schools and is aimed at readers in both research and practical fields.
