This open access book addresses the evasive problem of why truly
effective educational innovation on a wide scale is so difficult to
achieve, and what leaders may do about this. Examining the case of
system-wide reform processes centering on teaching a thinking-rich
curriculum, it discusses general issues pertaining to implementing
deep, large-scale changes in the core of learning and instruction.
The book emphasizes challenges related to professional development,
assessment, achievement gaps, and the tension between knowledge and
skills in 21st century curricula. It summarizes insights the
author has gained from approximately 25 years of engaging with
these topics both as an academic and as a practitioner who led a
national change process. With a Forward by David Perkins
