UGA professor emeritus co-authors new book on democratizing education

A new book co-authored by Carl Glickman, professor emeritus of the UGA Mary Frances Early College of Education, provides a set of practical guidelines for educational leaders striving to renew their schools.

Co-authored by Ian Mette, an associate professor at the University of Maine, the book is filled with real-world examples, charts, and illustrations that give teachers, principals, students, parents, central office personnel, school boards, and community members exactly what is needed to enhance their schools.

“For both Ian and myself, this book has been a labor of love and care,” said Glickman, who has authored 16 books on school leadership, democracy and the moral imperative of public education. “We hope that through school leadership and commitment, we can all be part of creating a more promising and healthy democratic society.”

“The Essential Renewal of America’s Schools: A Leadership Guide for Democratizing Schools from the Inside Out” will be available on the Teachers College Press website on April 17.
