Advanced Leadership in Public Education: Tools for Tackling Change from Outside the Building In
If you want to create change in public education but are not a school principal or other traditional public education leader, what do you need to do? This long, integrated background note examines the inspiring models and stories of individuals who are improving outcomes for low-income students through innovative social ventures. It shows how small innovations that start outside the traditional public education establishment get off the ground and overcome obstacles; how, if properly set up and tended, they can scale to multiple sites to move inside the "school building" for greater impact. They demonstrate the advanced leadership skills, tools, and principles that courageous education innovators everywhere can use to guide their thinking from outside the school building in.
