Making Change Happen: Shared Vision, No Limits
Autor Bill Lamperesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 oct 2004
Once staff, students, parents, and community stakeholders "catch the vision," programs, people and resources are aligned to promote success. As a result, the school, once slated for the financial chopping block, effectively moved from potential closure to national recognition as an exemplary program. Like its unique programs, most of the visions strategies can be replicated and adapted to any organizational setting.
For aspiring or veteran principals or school leaders.

Recenzii
This book is a story of dreaming high and working hard, pragmatically, and strategically to make dreams become reality for many 'throw-away' kids. This book is a 'must-read' for anyone interested in re-thinking schooling.
This book offers a very comprehensive and practical guide for creating a high performing, meaningful school. It clarifies the role of administrators, teachers, staff, and students....This is a must read and a practical guide for educators committed to creating schools where all students can learn and grow.
By reading Bill's book, you will feel the passion he brings to his work and the systemic changes he is leaving behind with his unorthodox and insightful vision.
This book is a must read for all current and future school leaders.
...uniquely phrased strategies and examples...much more than a guide for our school improvement team in implementing the change process. It is the foundation for focusing our change efforts, beginning with a clear vision that embodies purpose.
After reading...this...I feel more energized to keep going with the reason that I became a school leader in the first place....I like the concept of asset based classroom observations....there is a list of points for productive information sharing. I intend to post this in my office. The information is...practical and realistic. It is well written and concise and full of quotes and short lists that I want to keep handy.
In this book he [Lamperes] describes how he and his faculty changed their school and shares strategies others can use to improve their own organizations....It [Making Change Happen] tells an inspiring success story and contains a wealth of good ideas and practices for anyone who cares about making schools better for students and those who teach them.
...the principal explains how he fixed the school and...turned it into an award-winning jewel....Maybe his story will provide inspiration for your own fixer-upper.
Bill Lamperes...was the principal of Centennial High School in Fort Collins, Colo., where he coordinated the successful transformation of a school on the brink of closing. His book is filled with practical lessons in direct leadership. New principals and central-office administrators will benefit especially from his specific references on how to court key people and develop professional relationships. Making Change Happen is a well-organized reference starting with the author's commitment to the task at Centennial and ending with his reflections on the cycles of vision and change.
