Product Description
Many of our schools are good schools - if this were 1965. Processes and structures designed for a time that has passed are no longer appropriate in a rapidly changing society. By linking the why, what and how of change, the authors provide both a theoretical critique and practical advice to assist all those committed to changing and improving schools.

Customer Reviews
An outstanding book about improving schools
I have made extensive use of this book, both as a reference for graduate work in educational administration, and also in a practical sense as a beginning administrator. The book makes full use of the latest research in school improvement and school effectiveness and yet is very accessible. It sets a strategy for how schools can make sense of the deluge of change being forced upon them. It is also quite provocative in places. I constantly go to it when I am looking for practical and innovative advice on the subject of school planning, leadership strategies, evaluation and methods of bringing about change in organisations. I thoroughly recommend it.
