Bravo Oct 14, 2010
By Elizabeth Gardner I have had the pleasure of reading Deb Lukovich's book, as well being the recipient of her vast knowledge at a recent seminar I attended. Lately the problems with education have been brought to light, through Oprah Winfrey and films like "Waiting for Superman." Long before this very recent national attention, Deb was already a visionary for SOLUTIONS in our schools and communities. Her knowledge and attitude is contagious--both in person and on the pages of her book. I highly recommend it!
A step-by-step guide to community engagement! Mar 21, 2010
By Brenda Campbell What I love about this book is that Deb Lukovich doesn't just write about schools and community engagement. In The Secret to Better Schools, she provides a realistic and practical step-by-step guide to community engagement. The appendix is full of real samples of plans, scripts, agendas, reports, talking points, a governance model, and case statements. As the executive director of a young nonprofit, I find myself referring back to these resources for tips and inspiration.
Calling all educators, parents, and community leaders to action!!! Sep 16, 2009
By Yvonne A great buy and a must read for anyone who is passionate about education! The "Secret to Better Schools" is a guide to actively engaging parents, teachers, students, and the business community. It encourages stakeholders to embrace "out-of-the box solutions" that will maximize every student's potential, meet their academic needs, and garner resources in challenging economic times. Read and pass it on!!!
A GREAT book! Every teacher, principal, and businessperson needs to read this! Sep 15, 2009
By Jim Henderson As an educator who teaches in the School of Business at a local women's college, I feel very strongly that the work that Deb and alinea are doing is SO critical in helping to drive the TRANSFORMATION we so badly need in our schools and school system(s). And this book outlines for the reader, in clear and succinct language, her inspirational 'community engagement coaching' process.
This is not just 'another consultant accruing billable hours', nor your 'anyone-can-hang-a-shingle consulting firm', and it's definitely not your 'usual off-the-shelf consulting process'! alinea's "Community Engagement Coaching" process is unique, it's powerful, it truly ENGAGES the community and school stakeholders, and it has a proven track record of value-added RESULTS! Read the testimonials from alinea's clients - they're real and totally compelling!
The bottom line? It helps KIDS learn better and to grow and develop more fully as effective citizens, future employees, and future parents!
Deb, alinea, and her colleagues have TRULY dedicated themselves passionately to the mission of improving schools and education! So, "pay it forward"! Tell your friends and colleagues in education! READ THIS BOOK!! And get involved yourself!
