WE DEDICATE THIS BOOK to the loving memory of Mrs. Shirley Comer, our spiritual mother and friend. Through her dedicated and faithful support of the Yale School Development Program, her love and caring have touched the lives of thousands of children across the United States. Her legacy of compassion and devotion to improving the lives of all children lives on in the spirit of collaboration and child-centered teaching and learning that now embues hundreds of schools throughout this nation. All of us are much richer and better for having known her and shared her wisdom. We are todayand will be alwaysgrateful for Mrs. Comer's lifelong commitment to serving our children, community, and nation in her characteristically quiet and remarkably effective way. She gave us much and asked for nothing in return. We love her dearly.

CHAPTER ONE THE SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
James P. Comer, Norris M. Haynes, and Edward T. Joyner
1
With 28 years' experience and nationwide success as their vantage point, the authors recall the issues that triggered and shaped the School Development Program. They describe unflinchingly how some schools in the United States have become places that actively prevent success, and summarize the SDP's school reform initiative, in which redesigning engages all the influences of society to promoterather than to erodea community of healthy students, parents, and staff.
CHAPTER TWO TRANSLATING THEORY INTO PRACTICE: COMER'S THEORY OF SCHOOL REFORM
Christine L. Emmons, James P. Comer, and Norris M. Haynes
27
The School Development Program model is a unique outgrowth from previous social theories. Comer's training gave him a deep understanding of individual and social psychology, community health, and psychiatry. Synthesizing and expanding these disciplines, he created a strong and novl theoretical framework for educational reform.

CHAPTER THREE IT TAKES A WHOLE VILLAGE: THE SDP SCHOOL
Norris M. Haynes, Michael Ben-Avie, David A. Squires, J. Patrick Howley, Edna N. Negron, and Joanne Nancy Corbin
42
All children are at risk today. More homes are broken, more are led by single mothers, more have two parents away at work. For children to develop healthily, well-functioning adults must be available and attentive to them at all times. In the SDP school, the adults work creatively and enthusiastically with each other and with the children, setting a powerful model for the children's attitudes toward school, society, and the future.
CHAPTER FOUR UNIVERSITY-SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP: REFORMING TEACHER PREPARATION
Deborah B. Smith and Louise P. S. Kaltenbaugh
72
In the past, university schools of education have responded to many theories and philosophies. The SDP is a compelling new influence. The partnership of the SDP, Southern University at New Orleans, and the New Orleans Public Schools offers striking proof that teachers and students from kindergarten through grade 16 can combine forces to teach and learn creatively in the real world. After the formation of the New Orleans partnership, two more partnerships came into being: the SDP, Cleveland Public School District, and Cleveland State University partnership; and the SDP, San Francisco School District, and San Francisco State University partnership. As more universities join SDP schools in this exploration, their unique partnerships will define and solve problems in novel and invigorating ways
