Synopsis

Real change comes from teachers and administrators working together

Educators don't need another "quick fix" that gives a temporary boost to school performance--they need comprehensive change that lasts. In this brief companion book to Getting Serious About the System: A Fieldbook for District and School Leaders, teachers and other stakeholders will see exactly where they fit in an effective system-wide process of change. They'll also learn about:

• The research behind the successful Working Systematically approach
• The goals of the approach, which include addressing components and competencies at all levels
• A five-phase process for implementing change at the district, school, and classroom levels
