Full Description
Lead successful, lasting reform in your school or district!
There's no doubt about it: real educational reform happens one school at a time, one classroom at a time. No matter what change your school or district is facing, this definitive book shows how to involve teachers and staff as partners, every step of the way.
Shirley Hord and Gene Hall are highly acclaimed experts on K-12 change management with their Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM), a rigorously field-tested approach that has benefitted schools and districts for more than two decades. Now this respected team, joined by co-author James Roussin, shares their hands-on techniques with you in this practical guide. This complete change management program enables you to
Understand, predict, and address educator concerns and reactions that may arise during the change process
Use a series of powerful Learning Map activities to guide and support individuals and teams to navigate their own change efforts successfully
Promote collaboration and learning throughout a change initiative, transforming skeptics into supporters
Experience the CBAM model in action through a running case study
Implementing Change Through Learning offers realistic, people-centered strategies that help you develop trust and credibility with all teachers and staff involved, setting a foundation for reform that lasts.
