I believe LoAnne is referring to the Coalition of Essential Schools which
is a national network of several hundred schools.  The center is at Brown
University.  The Coalition of Essential Schools is led by Ted Sizer, who
has contributed a great deal to the thinking about school reform.
Recently, the Coalition published my monograph, entitled "The Essential
Library:  Partner in School Change." The paper focuses on the role of the
Library at Central Park East Secondary School, an early member school of
the Coalition.  In a school where the curriculum is not driven by
textbooks, and where students are expected to take responsibility for
their own educational process, what happens to the library? The paper,
and any other information about the Coalition of Essential Schools can be
obtained by writing to:
