Schlechty contends that rather than viewing schools as teaching platforms, schools must be viewed as learning platforms. Rather than seeing schools as knowledge distribution systems, schools must be seen as knowledge work systems. Rather than defining teachers as instructors, teachers must be defined as designers, leaders, and guides to instruction. \u003ci\u003eEngaging Students\u003c\/i\u003e also includes useful questionnaires that will facilitate discussion, analysis, and action planning at both school and classroom levels.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eEngaging Students\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"In \u003ci\u003eEngaging Students,\u003c\/i\u003e Schlechty boldly delineates why the focus on engaging students overrides the focus on test scores.
