Summary:

"In the book Moving Beyond Busy, author Greg Curtis fights back against the current meaningless busywork of change and aims to reinvigorate the process through a new system of pinpointed learning goals and strategies he has named the Input-Output-Impact (IOI) framework. With a deep understanding of the current state of change in schools, the author questions why so little progress is made towards the actual completion of change. The answer, he notes, is that the process of change in the school must be restructured. Effective change is centered on three questions - why, what, how. With these questions in mind, the author offers the IOI framework as a means of providing the answers and transitioning to the implementation of change. Using this book, readers will be able to move past the endless busywork of change and achieve the changes they desire in their school"-- provided by publisher.
