Educational strategies & policy; Organisation & management of education

"" For over 4

years, Michael Fullan has been one of the world's most important thinkers on education policy. In this important new book, he offers clear and compelling recommendations on what we must do differently if schools are to meet the learning needs of future generations.""

—Pedro Noguera, coauthor of A Search for Common Ground: Conversations About the Toughest Questions in K– 2 Education

The sixth edition of The New Meaning of Educational Change is unlike any of its predecessors. Michael Fullan first provides a deeply critical account of the last

years of educational change across the world with a focus on the United States. He then presents a radically different future based on learnings from the past and innovative examples from the recent present, along with a complete model for transforming our badly outdated current education system.

Fullan not only carefully documents the historic failure of system change, but he also offers a fundamental and innovative proposal that will generate better results with staying power. This new edition is part history, part boldly and radically action-oriented—setting out a future agenda for an increasingly complex world that has the power either to destroy the planet or make it the most wonderful place in the universe.

Written for a wide audience that includes practitioners, students, and policymakers, this dynamic resource shows readers how to develop collaborative cultures at the school level, foster district-wide success in all schools, and integrate individual and systemic success.

Book Features:

Offers devastating evidence on how and where educational system change has failed in the past and continues to do so. Provides a clear sequence of system transformation—build the bottom, strengthen the middle, and intrigue the top! Makes specific, practical recommendations for educational improvement that should be embraced by educators and policymakers now. Written in a reader-friendly language with an inspiring invitation to take action.
