商品簡介
In this guide for educational leaders at the school or district level, Whitaker (educational leadership, Indiana State University) presents nine strategies for implementing school change, which can be mixed and adapted. The book doesn’t tell what specific changes to make; rather, it illustrates how to set realistic goals, plan an approach, track progress, and avoid common obstacles. The book begins by describing three levels of change: procedural, structural, and cultural. The strategies given are related to reducing resistance, harnessing the power of emotion, and reinforcing changed behaviors, with examples drawn from the author's experience working with principals and assistant principals, district superintendents, and other educators. A subject index is not provided. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
