Research indicates change is complex and difficult, and requires
considerable time to achieve, sometimes years or even decades. This
book presents major findings from a research study exploring the
leadership needed to enact rapid change – defined as three years or
less – in various school contexts, overtly including the
perspectives of leaders, teachers, students, parents, community
members, and district leaders. We challenge many of the assumptions in
current scholarly literature about how fast, complex change can or
should be wrought within educational environments; indeed, our premise
is that rapid, complex change is not only possible but may be highly
desirable and successful given the right leadership approach. We
present a pragmatic ‘rapid change’ model emerging from in-depth
explorations of successful leadership approaches that accelerated the
change agenda in these schools. We outline the theoretical
underpinnings to the model and overtly articulate the pragmatic
approaches leaders found to be effective in implementing fast-paced
change. We also present case studies of successful change in schools
with descriptions and advice elicited from leaders and stakeholders.
