"Coherenceis
a
book
that
demands
action
–
it
moves
from
the
narrative
of
fixing
one
teacher
at
a
time,
to
asking
about
the
coherence
of
the
system
(be
it
school,
national,
or
world
issues).
Fullan
and
Quinn
create
an
important
narrative
about
direction,
working
together,
deepening
learning,
and
securing
accountability.
The
book
sparkles
with
examples
of
coherence
in
action,
it
makes
no
excuses
for
employing
the
wrong
levers
of
change.
This
is
the
blueprint
for
a
new
vocabulary
of
education
action;
it
shows
where
we
need
to
go
next,
and
is
another
example
of
Fullan
at
the
top
of
his
game."
I love this book--timely, practical collaborative action!In an era of overload, frustration, and fatigueCoherenceoffers an extremely timely, necessary, and practical alternative to improving education.Coherenceis essentially about the power, potential, and promise of people working collaboratively: the humanity and professional capacity of educators seeking to lead, learn, and teach to realize the persistent moral purpose of supporting all students to succeed. A hallmark ofCoherenceis that the principles and actions are grounded in practical examples from schools, districts and entire education systems. We desperately need coherence; this book provides a vital framework for collective action!
"School systems that struggle often are riddled with incoherence—mismatched strategies, competing cultures, and illogical initiatives. In their highly informative book, Fullan and Quinn explain clearly how coherence can solve the problem. Based on solid research and lessons drawn from effective practice,Coherence provides a comprehensive model to guide educators as they learn and lead their way to better schools. "
"With the improvement of student learning at the center,Coherenceassists educational leaders at every level to choose strategic drivers for change, learn collaboratively, and deliver results collectively. Fullan and Quinn nail the solution: building coherence is an on-going process that focuses on quality implementation of a small number of powerful goals that improve student learning. The Coherence Framework pushes and supports all leaders to improve their practice in the service of students."
"Coherenceis a must read for educators and politicians who are ready to talk the walk and take action with the ‘right drivers’. As a site and district leader I learned from reformers and researchers alike, but I struggled to operationalize what I had learned to benefit the adults and students I served. InCoherence, Fullan and Quinn clearly articulate a plan for operationalizing the "right drivers" throughout the system-school site, district, county, state, and nation."
"Michael Fullan and Joanne Quinn have hit it out of the park in their new bookCoherence.This book is an excellent resource for any school or school system that is committed to continuous improvement. Coherence is a practical powerful action guide for schools and school systems to use as they work collaboratively to close the achievement gap that exists in our schools. This book should be the required reading for all school administrators and elected officials."
