WOW - Look at These New Kinds of Schools!

Although Pat's blog is supposed to be strategic, I couldn't help but publish this article about 3 imaginative school models.  Administrators threw out the rulebook and fundamentally changed the nature of their schools.  Quite dynamic changes occured that you'll have to read about in order to appreciate. You may have heard of them.  I'll name the schools but won't attempt to describe them.  At the end of each description, there is a sub-heading, 'What You Can Steal.'
