A significant number of public schools are implementing a whole-school approach to school change. School change leaders face a number of questions: - What implementation strategies make whole-school reform work? - What factors work for or against sustainability? - How can committed educators and change agents "scale up" models that are successfully engaging students and promoting their learning and development? Author Cary Cherniss provides answers to these questions by examining the implementation of one particular whole-school reform model: MicroSociety®, a program founded in 1967 and recognized by the US Department of Education as a whole-school reform model. Profiling in depth the implementation successes and challenges of six MicroSociety schools, the author offers analytical tools and strategies for school leaders attempting to implement and sustain school change. School Change and the MicroSociety® Program is a research-based and strategy-driven resource for any school leader interested in cultivating and sustaining successful school change.
