Not only does </em>The Moral Imperative Realized <em>shine the light on the path that each of us in Public Education must walk; it provides the call to action that we must answer!</em>"
- Marcus P. Johnson, Superintendent,
<em>"</em>The Moral Imperative Realized <em>is a call to action. Michael Fullan makes it clear that the most pious mission statement held with passionate conviction will not improve schools unless educators take strategic actions to bring that mission to life. More importantly, he offers specific examples of system-wide improvement with such precise strategies for implementation that inaction is no longer an option for educators who contend they are committed to high levels of learning for all students. Like all of Fullan′s work, this is a must read."</em>
- Richard DuFour, Author,
