Читать книгу The Taking Action Guide to Building Coherence in Schools, Districts, and Systems - Michael Fullan - Страница 7

“It is time to make good on the promise of public education. Our children need it, the public is demanding it, and indeed the world needs it to survive and thrive” (Fullan & Quinn, 2015, p. 1).

Now is the time to focus on coherence! But how do you build the much-needed coherence?

The book Coherence: The Right Drivers in Action for Schools, Districts, and Systems is all about regular school systems achieving remarkable results by focusing on the right things and staying with them. The Taking Action Guide is intended to help you become one of those successful systems that makes a difference for all students.

Incorporated in The Taking Action Guide to Building Coherence in Schools, Districts, and Systems are protocols for each chapter of the book Coherence: The Right Drivers in Action for Schools, Districts, and Systems. The protocols provide staff with common learning experiences and promote deep discussion, encourage critical thinking about the coherence in the organization, and, as a result, build capacity. The protocols serve as building blocks to develop ongoing and specific actions. Once participants understand the Coherence Framework in their context, they are able to analyze the level of coherence in the organization and to take action by developing a 100-Day Plan to foster greater coherence.

But first, before you start, read Coherence: The Right Drivers in Action for Schools, Districts, and Systems. Tools help you focus, but only if you have good ideas. Get some ideas from the book and then get to action and learn more.

Focus and coherence has never been more badly needed. Now is the time for action.
