School Sustainable Development

A significant number of public schools are implementing a whole-school approach to school change. Educators face a number of questions: What implementation strategies work? What factors support sustainability? How can committed educators and change agents "scale up" models that are successfully engaging students and promoting their learning and development? Author Cary Cherniss provides answers to these questions by examining the implementation of one whole-school reform model, MicroSociety, founded in 1967 and recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a whole-school reform model. Profiling in depth the implementation successes and challenges of six MicroSociety schools, the author offers analytical tools and strategies for school leaders attempting to implement and sustain school change. School Change and the MicroSociety Program is a research-based and strategy-driven resource for any school leader interested in cultivating and sustaining successful school change.

A spectacular dialogue of the deaf has been on-going for many years. Information systems are as misunderstood today as they have been for a decade. The designers who make them, the managers who commission them and the stakeholders who use them consistently fail to communicate with each other resulting in the inevitable plethora of systems failures which appear in the media every week. This book seeks to address the key problem of transforming organizational need into information systems delivery. Using understandable language, real world examples and user-focused tools and techniques it aims to deliver sustainable information systems in even the most complex contexts. This is important reading for all concerned with making information systems sustainable, especially professionals in IT. It should also be of interest to environment and development organizations, business schools and software developers.
