The New Meaning of Educational Change
This new edition is unlike any of its predecessors. Michael Fullan first provides a critical account of the last 60 years of educational change across the world with a focus on the United States. He then presents a radically different future, including a complete model for transforming our badly outdated current education system. “A searing synthesis of what we now know about system change.” —Anthony Mackay, Centre for Strategic Education, Melbourne “This definitive book articulates in plain language where we need to go and how to get there.” —Michael Matsuda, superintendent, Anaheim Union High School District, CA “Fullan captures the complexity of leadership in a time of technological advancements and complex societal challenges.” —Thomas D’Amico, director of education, Ottawa Catholic School Board “Run, don’t walk, to pick up and read the sixth edition of The New Meaning of Educational Change!” —Barnett Berry, Learning Policy Institute “Michael Fullan brings the reader on a compelling 60-year journey of educational change.” —Tiffany Bastin, assistant deputy minister, New Brunswick Department of Education, NJ “I have no doubt that this sixth edition will continue Fullan’s enormous success in influencing policy and practice globally.” —Mel Ainscow, emeritus professor, University of Manchester, UK
Failed State
The Top Five Sunday Times Bestseller 'Excellent . . . persuasive . . . convincing' – The Times 'Funny, whipsmart and devastating. Sanity on steroids' – Emily Maitlis 'Fantastic. An exquisite analysis' – The Secret Barrister Why does nothing work in Britain? It’s harder than ever to get a GP appointment. Burglaries go unpunished. Rivers are overrun with sewage. Real wages have been stagnant for years, even as the cost of housing rises inexorably. Why is everything going wrong at the same time? It's easy to blame dysfunctional politicians who are out for themselves. But, in reality, it’s more complicated. Politicians can make things better or worse, but all work within our state institutions. And ours are utterly broken. In Failed State, Sam Freedman, one of Britain's leading policy experts, offers a devastating analysis of where we’ve gone wrong. With historical depth and plenty of infuriating examples, he explains why British governance has fallen so far behind. Speaking to politicians of all stripes, civil servants and workers on the frontline, this book bursts with insight on the real problems that are so often hidden from the front pages. The result is a witty, landmark book that paves the way for a fairer and more prosperous Britain. 'We can only hope that every member of the new government will read and digest this book' – David Aaronovitch, BBC Radio 4 Presenter 'Brilliantly timed and frighteningly true' – Sir Anthony Seldon, bestselling author of Johnson at 10
