What if the work of social change was abundant? It can be. What if,
instead of being exhausted, worn out, disillusioned, and depressed,
you were energized and inspired by your important work as a social
change leader? What if you were surrounded by endless supporters
helping to move your work forward? What if money flowed easily and
endlessly to you and your organization? What if the social change
you envision happened easily and joyfully? All of this-and more-is
within your grasp. In Reinventing Social Change, author, speaker,
and consultant Nell Edgington offers a bold new roadmap to
overcoming the unfair and limiting system in which social change
leaders have operated for too long. Through case studies,
exercises, and practical tools, she shows you how to reclaim your
power, kiss scarcity goodbye, and attract all the money and people
necessary to achieve the social change you offer. An invaluable
guide for nonprofit leaders, philanthropists, community activists,
board members, social entrepreneurs, and government decision-makers
alike, Reinventing Social Change is a critical roadmap for social
change leaders who will lead the reinvention of our broken systems
into ones that are stronger, healthier, and more equitable.
The Strategic Management of Charter Schools addresses the
challenges facing such schools by mapping out, in straightforward
and highly pragmatic terms, a management framework for them. The
first charter school law in the United States was enacted in
Minnesota in 1991. In the twenty years since that modest beginning,
the movement has burgeoned and spread across the country: there are
now more than five thousand charter schools attended by nearly two
million students. Yet due to this rapid growth in the number of
charter schools and to their generally independent character, the
nature and quality of these institutions vary greatly. The promise
of charter schools is great, but so are the organizational and
educational challenges they face. Organized around three crucial
challenges to charter school leaders-managing mission, managing
internal operations, and managing the larger stakeholder
environment-the book provides charter school leaders with
indispensable tools and insights for achieving educational and
organizational success. In its elucidation of these managerial
challenges, and in its equally helpful and detailed examinations of
particular schools, the book offers a clear, credible approach to
the efficient and sustainable management of what are still young
and experimental educational institutions. The Strategic Management
of Charter Schools is a volume in the Educational Innovations
series.
