Senge definitely offers a real gift for all those involved in education. If you come from a business or point of view of education, if you are involved in education, you'll love this book. His ability to create a resource with practical classroom application is a credit to him and his staff. The book itself highlights the success we really can be when applied and practice of the 5 disciplines.

A must read for all those engaged in education reform in America! My copy has my notes all through it and I love going to the sections that really resonate with my personal teaching and learning!

Running a school is an entirely challenging job. Those who teach give of themselves at a very personal level. Balancing all that makes a school a wonderful place of learning is a skill more of us could have with practice.
