Abstract	This riveting account of Dennis Littky and how his ideas turned around a troubled rural high school--the first school named to the acclaimed Coalition of Essential Schools--gives you a behind-the-scenes perspective on how principal leadership can accomplish positive change. Read how Littky's philosophy of personalized learning--one student at a time--quickly achieved dramatic improvements, including a decrease in dropout rates from 20% to 1.5% and record numbers of college-bound graduates. And learn how school improvement ideas that now seem commonplace today--such as high expectations, individualized curriculum, positive learning communities, and a focus on student competencies--had to be carefully nurtured among students, established through collaborative teamwork, and fought for in the community.
