März, Virginie; Kelchtermans, Geert; Vermeir, Karen – Journal of Educational Change, 2017

King, Fiona; Stevenson, Howard – Journal of Educational Administration, 2017
Purpose: In recent years the benefits of distributed leadership have often assumed the status of an unchallengeable orthodoxy.

Brady, Michael P.; Duffy, Mary Lou; Hazelkorn, Michael; Bucholz, Jessica L. – Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, 2014
Planning for policy implementation is as important as the implementation itself.

Principal, 2012
While the 2011-2012 school year offered educators a sketch of the Common Core State Standards and how they would impact teaching and learning, this year that painting takes shape.

Gross, Betheny; Jochim, Ashley; Nafziger, Dean – Building State Capacity and Productivity Center, 2013
State education agencies (SEAs) are under fire and face new expectations from all sides.

Rodriguez, Kim – Library Media Connection, 2011
Librarians might remember that day, whether it was a month ago or over ten years ago. They may have asked themselves what they needed to know, how they should do it, how they could improve it, and, if change was needed, whether they could effect change with ease or would be met with opposition? Did they go in like lambs and become lions, or learn…
