Media Reviews
In The New Meaning of Educational Change, Fullan makes clear his meanings for collaboration, partnership, deep learning, educational changes, and the changes necessary for whole system improvements." —Teachers College Record
"In the First Edition of this classic work, Michael Fullan helped educators come to greater understanding of the complexity and dynamics of change in the educational system. In this Fifth Edition he shares the wisdom that he has accumulated over more than 3 decades as to the specific actions that can be taken at the school, district, state, and national levels for overcoming those challenges. It should be required reading for all educators." —Richard DuFour, educational author and consultant
"In 1982 The Meaning of Educational Change transformed the way in which we thought about and practiced school improvement. In subsequent editions Michael Fullan continued to deepen his analysis with increasing precision, insight, and relevance. In this Fifth Edition of the The New Meaning he offers practitioners, policymakers, and researchers secure guidelines for the next decade. Fullan once again proves that he is the doyen of education change workers." —David Hopkins, professor emeritus, Institute of Education, University of London
