Learn from schools that have made meaningful, positive, and lasting changes!
The author presents an in-depth look at eight schools, winners of the National School Change Awards, that have transformed from low-performing into exemplary national status. Smith uses qualitative research, specific examples, and portraiture to offer an inside view of the day-to-day dynamics of school change. This insightful book examines questions such as:
- Why are some schools able to change while other schools cannot?
- Why are people challenged by change?
- What is the best way to measure change?
- What professional characteristics must principals develop to bring about significant and sustainable change?
