Fullan, M., Cuttress, C. & Kilcher, A. (2006) - 8 Forces for Leaders of Change

Fullan gives us eight drivers to assist in creating "effective and lasting change". In order for educators to be successful in implementing change there is much to be done, from developing new knowledge to learning from our peers. He talks about the "we-we" identity beyond one school which is something specialist teachers often experience. Working as a TL here in KL, I am lucky to have a large group of fellow TLs in other international schools to support me and bounce ideas off. We meet regularly and have implemented a number of very positive changes in our schools.
I learned from Fullan that leadership for change is about creating leaders on a variety of levels with the school, people who are passionate about looking towards the future and who display "innovativeness".
