Description:
We've had well over a century of failed school reforms, yet we keep trying to reform our schools, hoping to finally make them effective. Even the No Child Left Behind program is not really fully improving our schools. Why do most attempts at reforming our schools fail? They fail because the school management system is structured in the out dated style of 19th-century manufacturing -- a bureaucratic management system that imposes it's will on the school culture without honoring what is already working well and without collaborating with all stake holders. That's a surefire way for any organization to fail, and it's a way that does not create an effective learning environment.

What is a Process Journal?
A process journal is a journal in which people attending a seminar write down their own thoughts and ideas before discussing them with others in the seminar. Then, after discussing what each has written, the people in the seminar record in the journal the key ideas gendered in the discussion and any agreements that have been collaboratively arrived at. As the seminar progresses, the journal becomes both the engine that drives the seminar and a record of what was accomplished.
