In the exciting new edition of this bestselling book, Michael
Fullan looks at how much has changed in the world of headship and
school improvement in recent decades, and offers key guidelines for
being a successful head teacher in the 21st century.Policymakers
and school reformers have increasingly pointed to the headteacher
as the most important agent for change in our schools. The first
edition argued that there was little point waiting for the system
to improve, and urged headteachers to take charge and to assume
that on any given day the system may not know what it is doing.
Since then the situation has become even more complex. The good
news is that finally the role of head teacher is being recognized
by politicians and policymakers as key, but the bad news is that
they are overloaded with initiatives and expectations that serve
only to fetter deep action. The irony is that as the head teacher
is elevated as critical to success, the headship is sinking -
overloaded and pulled down at the same time. In this completely
rewritten and updated new edition, Fullan furnishes six action
guidelines for heads, and six for systems to enable them to make
dramatic improvements in schools. He seeks a way out of the current
dilemma, helping incumbent and would-be head teachers in leveraging
action that will positively change the system in both small and
large ways.
