Suzie Boss is an established expert speaker, writer and author on
school change and reform. In this book she explores how leadership
can engage the whole school and outside community to work together
to build learning. Studies from the frontlines of school change
provide inspiration and ideas you can adopt or adapt for your
context. Discussion prompts are included to promote and provoke
conversations-both inside and outside school-with everyone who has
a stake in student success (including students themselves). Working
together, through collaborative inquiry and hard conversations, you
will arrive at your best answers for how schools should adapt for
your context and your children. The four-part framework, based on
insights from those at the leading edge of change, will help
readers navigate the journey ahead: (1) The Why: To help a
community reimagine school, effective leaders must first build
common understanding about why change is necessary. (2) The How:
Moving from vision to reality requires practical considerations.
For example, stakeholders with diverse backgrounds bring a wealth
of experiences and perspectives to shape the future of education.
To collaborate effectively, however, they need to speak the same
language. (3) The What-ifs: Only on paper do plans unfold without
any push-back or detours. Leaders who maintain momentum and
overcome resistance to "what ifs" and "yeah buts" share their
troubleshooting strategies in this section, preparing readers to
anticipate challenges and be more effective change managers. (4)
The Future Story: School leaders who are taking courageous steps to
reinvent education understand the power of story. A superintendent
who regularly tweets out examples of powerful student learning or a
principal who blogs about school-business partnerships helps to
build public understanding of 21st century learning. Keeping change
efforts from backsliding requires ongoing communication, effective
storytelling, and optimism about the future. This book will walk
readers through these four critical stages, helping communities
mobilize around the shifts that students deserve. Compelling
examples from schools on the leading edge of change will inspire
readers to embark on the challenging work ahead. The book is
intended to be a practical action guide, taking readers from
talking about the future of learning to realizing their community's
vision.
