As a guide for thinking systemically about school improvement issues
Key Ideas
Small changes in systems, such as schools, often have complex and unforeseen effects. Despite the neat, pyramid-like structure often ascribed to schools through organizational charts, schools tend to operate much more like living systems. But thinking about school reform on a systemic level is often easier said than done.
Because of the difficulty involved in that process, the goal of this publication is to offer a straightforward process that school leaders can use to think systemically about their schools.
