The Change Leader

Rationale: Leaders who are equipped to handle a complex, rapidly changing environment can implement the reforms that lead to sustained improvement in student achievement. Transforming a school through sustainable change requires more than just the implementation of systems, routines, and processes. True change comes when leaders also attend to the “energy, enthusiasm, and hope” present in people and teams. 

Learning Intention: Leaders will explore how they can develop the capacity to lead cultural change as charter, district, and school leaders.

Success Criteria: Teams will know they are successful when they…

• understand and can articulate key ideas from Michael Fullan’s research about educational leadership

• have contextualized change leadership within their work as members of the Administrative Transformation Team
