Educational literature is replete with calls for schools to become learning communities. Educational leaders are charged with creating organizations that enhance adult as well as student growth. This publication was written by members of a community of learners who are deeply involved in an ongoing struggle of almost 2 decades to create environments in which adult growth flourishes. They invite the reader into their community as they share their personal struggles and successes as school leaders, professors, and leaders of professional development centers. Their stories are contained in nine chapters: (1) "The Story" (Roland S. Barth and Rebecca van der Bogert); (2) "A Conversation on the Rocks" (Richard H. Ackerman); (3) "Sharing the Challenges: Critic-colleague Teams and Leadership Development" (Gordon A. Donaldson, Jr.); (4) "International Sharing as Reflective Images" (Vivian Williams); (5) "Relationships" (Gayle Moller); (6) "Harbor Lights Cafe" (David Hagstrom); (7) "Back to School" (Joe A. Richardson); (8) "Learning in the Schoolhouse" (Rebecca van der Bogert); and (9) "From Puddle Dock to the Twenty-first Century" (Roland S. Barth). (RT)
