Ben Levin: Reform without much rancor
Reform imposed on education systems never work.
Four key factors in effective change:
?????? ??1.?????? ??Have a plan that focuses on improved student outcomes and??is founded on the best available evidence.
?????? ??2.?????? ??Implement that plan in a careful but relentless way.
?????? ??3.?????? ??Create real buy-in by paying careful attention to two-way communications and taking very seriously the views and ideas of stakeholders.
?????? ??4.?????? ??Manage inevitable distractions and competing pressures so??that there can be a sustained focus on a small number of key goals.
