Schlechty Research Compiled for Enterprises Inc. 10/2001 For More Information  on How to Use This Paper Properly, ABSTRACT Inventing Better Schools by Phillip C. Schlechty is a winner of the National Staff Development Counsel Book Award.  This innovative book by one of the most well known leaders for change in education has written an excellent and developmentally progressive book on improving our school systems today.  Within these pages not only educators but administrators and business leaders as well can find methods of changing their way of educating so that the learner is not only more  willing to learn but finds it purposeful and inviting also. Schlechty draws upon his vast experience in this field to share his beliefs, his philosophies and his opinions on  how our school systems and teaching methods need to be changed for the better. While some readers may not openly grasp all of what the author has to say on  the subject, they will at least come away with having their minds opened to different ways of thinking, perhaps so that they can put their own ideas into motion through  some of the motivation that seeps through these pages. Schlechty blames todays problems in the school system not just on the poor performance by teachers and students but on the  fact that most of the administrative leaders of our nations school systems are not willing to fully admit to or state the problems that are inherent in the system.  The fact of the matter is, everyone wants to blame the teacher when that is not the root of the problem. Schlechty infers that too much energy is spent
