What's Worth Fighting for in Your School? / Edition 2

by Michael Fullan, Andy Hargreaves

Overview

Encouraging teachers and principals to think more deeply about school reform, individual responsibility, and collaborative culture, What's Worth Fighting For In Your School? inspires teachers and principals to act as moral change agents in fighting for positive reform.

In addition to its outstanding analysis of "total teachers" and school culture, this book provides action guidelines for teachers and for principals that are filled with insights that will help school educators take responsibility for reform.

In an effort to develop new mind sets, knowledge-bases, and the day-to-day disposition and actions that should characterize the education profession of the future, this book talks about how teachers can work together for positive change, how they can collaborate with others outside the classroom to improve what goes on within it, and how principals and other leaders can support their teachers to make this happen.
