Drawing from his work with school districts and systems in the US, UK, and Canada, Fullan (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, U. of Toronto, Canada), an education adviser for Ontario, details an action plan for achieving whole system school reform. He discusses what whole-system reform is, its components, and why it is critical; current strategies that fail; the elements of collective and individual capacity; how politicians and professionals must work together; and successful reform initiatives in the US, Canada, Asia, and Scandinavia. The book is intended for politicians, teachers, principals, community leaders, superintendents, board members, and others. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
