Inviting student success through creating inviting schools

This book provides important information for any teacher or administrator. Those seeking to enhance their classroom or school to create a positive environment will find the research and information valuable. In the age of high stake testing it is easy to lose sight of the need to create an environment where students feel invited to be part of the learning process. Purkey and Novak create a clear visual picture of what is possible in inviting all stake holders to be part of the educational process.
