They embrace the mission, trusting that teachers and administrators the true change leaders will venture to the Leading Edge to embrace the challenges and opportunities that will guarantee the success of their students.In today's era of educational change where reforms proliferate, initiatives abound, legal responsibilities are constantly expanding, and both teachers and leaders complain constantly of overload, the challenge is no longer just how to implement particular changes, but how to choose between changes, prioritize them, and create coherence among all of them.

Great description of successful change methodology Terry A. Shlaes A nice review of different writers concepts of change methodology. Concise with good examples of each method. Great for a graduate class.. An OK Read The title of this piece of text is a tad misleading. Change Wars implies riveting reading, but I would not call this book riveting. Though some of the authors contribute some worthwhile ideas.
