Facilitate change in schools with this innovative shared leadership approach!

In today′s world of increased accountability, the need for effective and dramatic school change is stronger than ever. Continuous school improvement requires a collaborative team approach—one where educators focus on student learning and achievement, promote shared decision making, and communicate visible achievements to students, teachers, and parents.

This updated edition of Twelve Roles of Facilitators for School Change shows education leaders how they can become powerful agents of school reform. Advocating a transformational vision of leadership and learning, the author outlines 12 essential roles on the leadership team and provides practical tools for individuals in each role to use in facilitating the change process. This easy-to-use, research-based volume guides principals, superintendents, staff developers, and other leaders through the four main functions of effective facilitators:

  • Leading the collaboration and change process
  • Providing skills training
  • Acting as a resource consultant
  • Motivating and energizing the group

By following the clear, step-by-step directions in this book, educators at all levels will learn to facilitate and embrace change, leading to higher student engagement and achievement!
