Changing our schools

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.

Throughout the world a great deal of effort and money has been expended in the name of educational change.

Much of it has been misdirected and some of it wasteful.

This book assists people inside and outside schools to bring about positive change by helping them to define the purposes behind change, the processes needed to achieve change and the results which they should expect.

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.
