Abstract	School restructuring is a process of reform that attempts to reconcile idealistic aspirations of educators with the realities of large public schools. While most educators have high expectations for their students, the impersonal structure of public schools is an obstacle to achieving these goals. In order to be effective, teachers must know the students in their school and must be able to identify their students' needs and take actions to meet them. If schools are to be effective, they must have a sense of community, clarity of purpose, and a curriculum that engages students. This guide is intended to give a sense of what restructuring entails. It relies heavily on the experiences of experts who have led the process in their own schools. The process is divided into five phases, which span the course of two to three years, with all succeeding years devoted to assessment and improvement. This is by no means a standardized model, but a collection of practices which any educator may find useful. Appended are: (1) School Questionnaire; and (2) Citations, Additional Resources, Notes. (Contains 9 resources.) (ERIC).
