Stratereaders

This is our fifth and final book for our inaugaural year of StrateReaders. I started this book as I boarded a plane in Minneapolis and finished it when I touched down in Oakland. What a great read! Fullan pulls in much of what Levy and Murnane have to say about expert thinking and complex communication in their book “The New Division of Labor”. He also references Collins’ “Good to Great” relating Collins’ ideas to leading systems change.

A quote from Archimedes that I particularily enjoyed that Fullan uses is “Give me a level long enough and I can change the world”. Fullan then states “For sustainability, that lever is leadership.”

What are your thoughts? How can we use this book to guide us in our work with schools?
