Order Degrees of Freedom

Degrees of Freedom: A 21st Century Handbook for School Leaders is designed to help K-12 educators create healthier, higher-functioning learning environments for young people. The book outlines an actionable five-part framework for collaborative leadership, grounded in democratic principles, that will help school communities across the country address two of our country's most pressing needs -- improving the performance of our public schools, and strengthening the quality of our civic discourse -- at the same time.

Degrees of Freedom will be available for purchase in December 2008. To reserve an advance copy, send an email request to info@fivefreedoms.org.
