Experts and reformers have suggested many promising ideas for
improving schools and ramping up student learning, but in too many
cases, proposals for change run up against resistance, confusion,
and anxiety from key stakeholders such as teachers, parents,
students, and members of the broader public. To propel change-and
to sustain it-school leaders need to understand what is driving
these responses and develop more effective strategies for engaging
these groups in the mission of reform. You Can't Do It Alone
provides school leaders with a crisp summary of opinion research
among teachers, parents, and the public conducted by Public Agenda,
Education Sector and other respected analysts. It offers tips on
what leaders can do to more successfully engage these groups in
areas such as reforming teacher evaluation, turning around
low-performing schools, and building support for world-class
standards. The book also introduces a theory of change and public
learning developed by social scientist Daniel Yankelovich, along
with some practical rules of the road for promoting the kind of
dialogue that leads to consensus and action.
