Review:
An innovative thinker who is sought-after by institutions, publishers, and international think-tanks, Michael Fullan is special advisor on education to Dalton McGuinty, the premier of Ontario. He formerly served as dean and professor emeritus at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. He holds honorary doctorates from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland and from Nipissing University in Canada.
Fullan served as dean of the faculty of education at the University of Toronto from 1988 to 2003, leading two major organizational transformations, including a merger of two large schools of education. He is currently working as adviser and consultant on several major education reform initiatives around the world.
He bases his work on research and practice on both the public and private sectors, finding an increasing convergence in this literature. He has written several bestsellers on leadership and change that have been translated into several languages. Four of his books have won book of the year awards, and his publications have been translated into several languages.
Now, Michael Fullan is offering his experience to you in an online professional development opportunity!
"Leadership & Sustainability extends and amplifies Fullan′s thinking in very powerful and practical ways, by developing a topic that hasn’t seen this kind of elegant, integrative, and comprehensive treatment before. It uses real-world examples and research literature to tackle, head on, the question of sustainability--how organizations move into the future and endure over time, as well as the equally challenging question: what about an organization is worth sustaining long term? Folks who have followed Michael Fullan′s work over many years will like this book very much." Author: Richard Ackerman, Associate Professor, Educational Leadership
"An ambitious and provocative journey into the complexities and possibilities that arise when leadership and sustainability join." Author: Roland S. Barth
"Leadership & Sustainability is a critical breakthrough. Michael Fullan has utilized findings from some of the best research and observations in education over the past fifteen years to brilliantly illuminate the challenges of creating schools capable of continuous organic change and improvement." Author: James P. Comer, Maurice Falk Professor of Child Psychiatry
"Michael Fullan has gone beyond his past research that described the change process so insightfully to a new and exciting exploration of how systems thinking and the ′long lever of leadership′ can bring about deep and lasting reforms in schools and schooling. This brand of leadership for sustainability, as described by Fullan, results in the ′deep learning′ that enables schools to respond successfully to the revolution in expectations they now face. This new work will both inform and inspire educators to become the ′new theoreticians′ whose impact will be felt in their schools every day." Author: David T. Conley, Director, Center for Educational Policy Research
"With knowledgeable savvy from both individual leadership and system transformation, and a knack for writing in ′plain-speak,′ Fullan helps us understand that it will be ′leadership′ (not leaders) that pave the way for great sustainability. His attempt to link abstract concepts to concrete examples of what it looks like in practice was successful." Author: Theodore B. Creighton, Director, Center for Research and Doctoral Studies
"Efforts at education reform have taken us down a variety of paths, and Michael Fullan has consistently noted the importance of leadership to large-scale reform. In his latest book, Leadership & Sustainability, Fullan makes a solid case that such reform is a complex process involving many variables. Key among these variables is the relationship between leadership and sustainability." Author: Vincent L. Ferrandino, Executive Director
"Michael Fullan has been among the most salient international observers of educational change over the past decade. In this book he draws upon a diverse knowledge base in a critical examination of the limitations of current education reform strategies in use around the world. He then answers his own challenge by seeking to identify what it will take to create sustainable educational reform. His approach will be of interest to a broad range of educational leaders, policymakers, and scholars." Author: Philip Hallinger, Executive Director, College of Management
"While everyone is debating quick-fix reform in education, Michael Fullan sets out a compelling strategy for widespread and lasting improvement. Drawing on experience from around the world and examples at every level, Fullan brilliantly personifies the transformative theorist-in-action that he urges others to be. This book is essential. Don’t leave school without it!" Author: Andy Hargreaves, Thomas More Brennan Chair in Education
"In Leadership & Sustainability Michael Fullan continues to push the edge of what we understand about improving schools on a large scale. His ideas, both provocative and practical, are well worth the attention of educational reformers, policy makers, and practitioners alike." Author: Kenneth A. Leithwood, Professor and Associate Dean
"No one has contributed more to our understanding of leadership and change than Michael Fullan. Leadership & Sustainability continues that tradition--a brilliant analysis of a timely topic." Author: Thomas J. Sergiovanni, Lillian Radford Professor of Education
