The New Meaning of Educational Change

This new edition is unlike any of its predecessors. Michael Fullan first provides a critical account of the last 60 years of educational change across the world with a focus on the United States. He then presents a radically different future, including a complete model for transforming our badly outdated current education system. “A searing synthesis of what we now know about system change.” —Anthony Mackay, Centre for Strategic Education, Melbourne “This definitive book articulates in plain language where we need to go and how to get there.” —Michael Matsuda, superintendent, Anaheim Union High School District, CA “Fullan captures the complexity of leadership in a time of technological advancements and complex societal challenges.” —Thomas D’Amico, director of education, Ottawa Catholic School Board “Run, don’t walk, to pick up and read the sixth edition of The New Meaning of Educational Change!” —Barnett Berry, Learning Policy Institute “Michael Fullan brings the reader on a compelling 60-year journey of educational change.” —Tiffany Bastin, assistant deputy minister, New Brunswick Department of Education, NJ “I have no doubt that this sixth edition will continue Fullan’s enormous success in influencing policy and practice globally.” —Mel Ainscow, emeritus professor, University of Manchester, UK
