Zusammenfassung:Chancellor Joseph A. Fernandez is the most innovative and controversial figure in American education today. A high school dropout and former gang leader, he rose from the streets of Spanish Harlem to become the superintendent of the floundering Miami public school system, which he transformed into a mold-breaking, chance-taking, award-winning, and much-copied educational institution. He now commands the largest and most scrutinized school system in the country, New York
City's, and his reforms and regenerative efforts have made headlines coast to coast. Tales Out of School is Fernandez's compelling story of how he got where he is and what he sees as the cures for America's ailing schools. It is also the first book on educational reform written "from the trenches": Fernandez has been a teacher, a principal, and an administrator for thirty years. He provides candid assessments of the issues and the public figures he has encountered, and
explains his determined drive to dispel decades of decline, from record-low reading scores to guns on the campuses and drugs in the halls. But most important, he presents his prescription for how to return American education to its role of international leadership. Some examples:. School-Based Management: SBM gives teachers, principals, and parents a large voice in the decision-making process at the school level and is at the core of Fernandez's revitalization program
