Today's schools know they must make problem solving, collaboration, self-directed learning and creativity an integral part of the school's DNA, but they don't always know how.
When we ask schools to change, we are asking human beings to change. This requires special tools and a human-centered approach. in The Human Side of Changing Education, leaders will learn to make sense of their challenging change journeys and accelerate effective implementation. With this practical framework that includes human-centered tools, resources and mini case studies, readers will learn to navigate and succeed on their unique path of change.
With this book you'll learn to: understand why resistance is to be expected and how to get through it; discover three different kinds of change strategies and when to use which one; learn how to use the "messy middle" of change, where real transformation happens; change the heart of the system by enabling the hearts and minds of those who make schools work.
