Full Description
An ideal book for new or prospective education advisers which focuses on change management in education. It offers essential background reading for anyone involved in advising within the education system. Divided into three sections, this book details the specifics of advising on change management in education, examples and approaches for implementing sustainability change, and advising through complexity.
Advising on Change Management in Education presents a diverse range of perspectives from MAT leaders, headteachers, key influencers, and education advisers at local, regional, national and international levels. Each chapter concludes with the author's analysis of the impact and difference made, resulting in a thorough, insightful, and practical text. Case scenarios within chapters also encourage readers to reflect on and consider integrating some of these approaches in their own practice. Chapter content includes aspects of:
• understanding and addressing change management in complex educational contexts
• transformational change
• identifying and overcoming barriers to change
• providing emotional support for leaders through periods of significant change
• managing growth in multi-academy trusts
• managing closures and mergers in the FE sector, and
• developing sustainable change.
Readers will become well versed in what constitutes effective change management advice in education and how, when undertaken well, this can both support leaders and their staff, assisting them in improving the quality of education and outcomes for the children and, young people in their care.
