"Deep and lasting educational reform doesn't happen overnight, even in this fast and flexible 21st century. This example-packed sequel to The Fourth Way draws upon inspiring examples unearthed by brand new research to challenge educational leaders, teachers, and policy makers to put proven strategies to work promoting student learning and achievement and the high quality teaching that drives it. With striking success stories from diverse systems around the world, Andy Hargreaves and Dennis Shirley present a bold new vision for education aimed at: focusing on the real-life, nitty-gritty challenges facing change leaders on a global scale; anticipating stumbling blocks to enacting best principles and practices; and developing and implementing a dynamic and coherent plan of action and culture of determination to overcome challenges to lasting change."--Publisher description.
