About

This is a book about hope. It affirms the power of personal and collective responsibility to enact heroic changes in our schools. Through a shared vision, purpose, and inquiry—and using the collective wisdon of myth, legend, and metaphor from around the world—we can find the inspiration and courage to face the challenges inherent in transforming schools into authentic learning organizations.
