Synopsis

When Michael Fullan published the first edition of this seminal work in 1982, he revolutionized the theory and practice of education reform. Now, a quarter of a century later, his new fourth edition promises to be equally influential for radical reform in the 21st century. Capturing the dilemmas and leading ideas for successful large-scale systemic reform, Fullan bases his text on practical and fundamental work with education systems in several countries. The exciting new fourth edition shows us how to:

• Develop collaborative cultures at the school level while avoiding superficial versions of professional learning communities.
• Foster district-wide success in all schools, illustrating how state and national systems can achieve total system transformation based on identifying and fostering meaning for educators at all levels.
• Integrate individual and systemic success, a rare feat in today's school reform efforts.

The New Meaning of Educational Change is your definitive compendium to all aspects of the management of educational change―a powerful resource for everyone involved in school reform.
