From No Child Left Behind to Common Core standards, we are inundated with directives for improving our schools. How can we really create lasting change? By applying the Change Creation system! The Change Creation system produces a creative, collaborative, nurturing school environment-and you can make it happen. The authors use what they have learned over two decades of working with schools implementing Whole Faculty Study Groups to make improvements and refinements that create a more streamlined and effective grass-roots system for measurable and sustainable student growth. Learning community pioneers Dale Lick, Karl Clauset, and Carlene Murphy show teachers, principals, and schools how to: Develop the right vision, relationships, and culture to create and sustain change Create communication networks for sharing that work Model learning-inquiry cycles for action teams for success Build loyalty, trust, and responsibility within your teams and across the school With a free, comprehensive online collection of practical resources including templates, checklists and action team assessment forms.
