Zusammenfassung:"The learning process works best when students are supported, encouraged, and accepted. The authors tell the story of a special school - Mountain View - that upholds a strong belief in the value of each student through smaller classes, experiential learning, and an awareness of community in and out of school. This book describes the journeys of students who were angry, unsure, or struggling with various labels of learning disabilities, as well as students who were successful in the traditional educational system but sought more opportunities for creativity and self-expression. Their stories are told in the context of how to build and run a school that is keenly attuned to teenagers' needs."--BOOK JACKET.
