Too much change, not enough improvement Planned changes often fail
because those designing them underestimate the complexity of
implementation. Reduce Change to Increase Improvement provides a
practical structure for helping system and school leaders increase
improvement while reducing ineffective change and innovation. By
drilling down to the beliefs and values that inform the actual
practice of change leaders, Robinson identifies the mindset,
processes, and actual behaviors that contribute to successful reform
efforts and, importantly, provide school leaders with concrete tools
that enable them to be more effective. The structures described in
the book are illustrated by numerous examples, cases, and conversation
extracts and center on four phases of engagement: Agreeing about the
problem to be solved Revealing the beliefs that sustain the current
practices Evaluating the relative merit of the existing practices and
proposed theory Implementing and monitoring the new theory of action
"Finally, a serious, evidence-proven book about educational change
that takes a different tact – beginning with the impact on the
learner. Reduce Change to Increase Improvement is a treasure-trove of
concrete information for educational leaders. Robinson, always
cautious about "change for change sake", brilliantly delineates each
step of the way for leaders using authentically-documented
conversations and practical discussion-starters that guide us through
this collective inquiry approach towards student improvement. All
leaders need this concise, clearly-stated text to guide their
intentional improvement practices. —Dr. Lyn Sharratt, International
