Description
Educators have long wrestled with how to manage productive change in their schools. Besieged by well-intentioned voices suggesting they take "this" or "that" course of action to improve student performance, school leaders and their teams have often found themselves heading down one road only to exit onto another.
As a result, the intended changes don't stick, and their desired outcomes remain out of reach. In these episodes, we'll hear from educators who successfully navigated change and from those who support educators in that quest.
