"Public Conversations about the Public's Schools": The Public Agenda/Institute for Educational Leadership Town Meeting Project.

Danzberger, Jacqueline P.; Friedman, Will

Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n10 p744-48 Jun 1997

In 1995, Public Agenda and the Institute for Educational Leadership joined forces to develop a means for citizens, community leaders, and educators to hold public conversations on issues facing America's schools. Conversations help community members build common ground for improving schools. Success hinges on credible local sponsors, group diversity, skilled moderators, and choice frameworks. (MLH)
