Making Big Schools Feel Small

by Paul S. George, John H. Lounsbury

A solid and convincing case for organizing middle schools in ways that create long-term teacher-student and student-student relationships. Making Big Schools Feel Small is amply illustrated with examples; enhanced with data gathered from a national survey of teachers, students, and parents who have experienced these alternate patterns of organization in action; and is supported by research findings. This resource will be a valued guide as schools move, as they must, to counter the effects of bigness and increase student achievement.
