Whether they’re the result of a mandate from on high, a crisis that needs addressing or simply a desire for improvement, change initiatives are a constant in most every school. In this book, veteran teacher, administrator and consultant Jeffrey Benson provides educators with a proven, practical and broadly applicable system for implementing new practices methodically and effectively. Topics include

• identifying and communicating a clear and understandable vision of change
• ensuring that all voices in the school are heard and respected during the change process
• thoroughly and thoughtfully collecting, classifying and analysing data related to the change initiative
• delegating responsibilities among staff and stakeholders.

Replete with checklists, surveys and worksheets, 10 Steps to Managing Change in Schools is a practical guide for educators determined to seamlessly weave new practices or procedures into the fabric of the school.
