The change process in schools is made complex by the wide range of educational innovations. These require effective leadership that recognizes the role people play. If the focus of change is solely on technology and if the personal side is not addressed, the result is resistance and implementation failure. This book addresses those concerns using the CBAM Model in a useful and immediately applicable format.

Each chapter in the book is organized to move from concept to application covering: research, a clear description of the change concept, case studies, examples, discussion questions, and activities.

Quatri�me 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.
