Pearlman, R. (1993) "Designing the New American Schools." Communications of the ACM, 36, 46-49.

Pearlman suggests elements of school practice and organization needed to restructure schools, elements which cut across all aspects--curriculum, assessment, technology and learning environments. South Pointe Elementary school in Dade County, Florida and the Saturn School of tomorrow in St. Paul, Minn. are used as examples of the new generation of schools.
