Review:
"For many years the first edition of The New Meaning of Educational Change was my 'bible' for understanding how to improve teaching and learning for all students within complex school systems. The book's fourth edition continues and deepens that tradition by featuring a knowledge base that Michael Fullan describes as 'more profound and accessible'." - Dennis Sparks, Emeritus Executive Director, National Staff Development Council "This new edition of a classic and highly influential text significantly extends Fullan's remarkable efforts to synthesize and make useful what is known about successful educational change processes." - Ken Leithwood, OISE/University of Toronto "Michael Fullan is at the peak of his knowledge and influence on change and reform in education. There is a sense of urgency in the 4th edition because a system-wide breakthrough has not been made at the level of the student and classroom, even though the knowledge of how to do it is at hand. Those who seek to achieve such a breakthrough must read this book." - Brian J. Caldwell, Managing Director, Educational Transformations Pty Ltd "Fullan has excelled himself in this fourth edition. This is no mere updating of a tried and tested formula. Here Fullan offers us a view of educational change as comprehensive as the first edition, but with a depth and understanding of the complexities that are unsurpassed in their authority, vision, and passion." - David Hopkins, HSBC iNet Chair of International Leadership, Institute of Education, University of London "For those of us committed to teaching, researching, facilitating, and leading school and school system change, Michael Fullan has served as trailblazer, guide, and mentor. This fourth edition significantly deepens that legacy." - Lew Smith, Director, National Principals Leadership Institute, Fordham University Graduate School of Education"
