From Reform to Reimagining Education: Leading K-12 Schools Forward

By Sally J. Zepeda, Philip D. Lanoue, Robert R. Neu

From Reform to Reimagining Education equips school leaders to rethink and implement new educational strategies beyond the current traditional school model. The world in which students live and work will not look the same as yesterday or today; therefore, an aggressive redesign of education is required to meet students' future needs. This book provides educational leaders with the tools to lead adaptively and resiliently, beyond their familiarity in areas including technology, politics, teacher preparation, instructional delivery systems, and student support. Providing leaders with critical insights into developing resilient educational systems readied for rapidly changing contexts, this book helps educators reimagine leading schools forward with confidence and to become futures-leaders. Futures-leaders need a new mindset to see the future, plan today, and prepare to undertake a challenging journey ahead - with special journal entry prompts and activities throughout and a culminating "Futures-Ready Action Plan," this cutting-edge textbook helps aspiring school and district leaders start on that journey of reflection and engagement, empowering them to lead forward-thinking systems into dynamic futures.
