It's about Time: Leading School Reform in an Era of Time Scarcity

By James E. Bruno

It′s already hard to find the time to make the changes that will improve education. And if everyone isn′t on the bandwagon, it will take even more time. What′s the answer to the time crunch in education?

Here, Bruno looks at time in schools from a new perspective: Time as the currency of exchange between the classroom teacher and the school organization. Find out:

Why time is often so important to the success of school change and reform How time can equate with participation for classroom teachers What leadership strategies can build teacher involvement in school change Why it′s hard to get cooperation from veteran teachers and why it′s crucial to reform efforts

The author discusses the impact of time on everyone in the school organization. You′ll see how the differing views of teachers and the organization can contribute to teacher burnout and their reluctance to participate in reform efforts. He offers you the insights gleaned from interviews with more than 4,000 teachers.

Bruno shows you how to give a positive answer to your teachers′ toughest school reform question: Is it ′worth′ my extra time and effort? The information here helps you minimize your teachers′ resistance to commit time --and enthusiasm--to your school′s reform.
