| Abstract: | 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 60 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from the past and innovative examples from the recent present, along with a complete model for transforming our badly outdated current education system.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. This book: (1) offers devastating evidence on how and where educational system change has failed in the past and continues to do so; (2) provides a clear sequence of system transformation--build the bottom, strengthen the middle, and intrigue the top! (3) makes specific, practical recommendations for educational improvement that should be embraced by educators and policymakers now; and (4) written in a reader-friendly language with an inspiring invitation to take action. |
