A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

This book focuses on how school leaders can understand, evaluate and facilitate the change process by presenting a number of research-based models and tools along with examples of how each can be used to facilitate change efforts.

The change process in schools and other organizations is made complex by the wide array of innovations and the different ways that people are influenced by them. The primary perspective for understanding change used in this book is the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM). This perspective has been the subject of research for more than thirty-five years. The studies have been conducted in a number of countries and widely applied by change leaders, trainers and those who are responsible for evaluating innovation implementation efforts.

New to this edition:

• New chapters describe three additional change perspectives―Systems, Diffusion and Organization Development―to present a broader perspective for students.
• A new last chapter, on Implementing Change, provides examples of how the various ideas described in earlier chapters can be combined in real situations. This chapter introduces Postmodernism and Critical Theory as emerging perspectives for understanding change.
• A new Chapter 2 discusses professional learning communities and organizational culture to illustrate how leadership affects educational culture.

Quatrième de couverture

A research-based guide for educators to the practical methods of understanding, evaluating and facilitating the change process.

 

Significantly revised based on student and instructor feedback, the new third edition of Implementing Change continues to examine the ways in which change processes are experienced by those "on the ground" while adding new features, new material and the most current research. Based primarily on the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM), this user-friendly text focuses on introducing constructs that can be used by those engaged in facilitating change processes as well as those who are evaluating and studying change.

 

Rather than maintaining a bird’s eye view of change processes, each chapter introduces a research-based, research-verified construct about change that captures the complexity of implementing change and the diversity of reactions to it. With a stress on pedagogical aids, each chapter incorporates practical examples, sample research, case studies, reflection questions and examples of common roadblocks to change.
