Summary:

"This cutting-edge book illustrates the need for schools to be innovative, flexible and proactive in rapidly changing contexts. Chun Sing Maxwell Ho suggests that by adopting an entrepreneurial mindset, schools can create environments where teachers feel supported, students are empowered and communities become stronger. Chapters draw on international research to provide practical strategies for leading change, including building teamwork, forming community partnerships and embedding fresh ideas into daily routines. The author combines theoretical and practical insights in a range of case studies across primary, secondary and SEN schools, examining curriculums in self-directed learning and innovation. This book demonstrates that meaningful change in education does not come from one leading figure but from collective leadership, trust and resilience. Cultivating Change in Schools is a valuable resource for students and scholars of educational leadership, management and policy. It will also benefit school management teams, teachers, education policy and reform researchers and professional development providers"-- Provided by publisher.
