Rejecting as inadequate such traditional "objective" quantitative methods as looking at average test scores and dropout rates, Wagner chose instead to use a mix of qualitative research techniques including extensive observation of classes and of large and small group meetings, analysis of documents ranging from official publications to memoranda, and one-on-one interviews. |

| Publisher Description: The first edition of How Schools Change chronicled the efforts of three very different high schools to improve teaching and learning in the early 1990's. Now, in a new second edition, Wagner concisely summarizes the decade-long history of education reform efforts and revisits the three communities at the beginning of a new century. |
