Additional Information
“DuFour and Fullan lay out, in a clear and compelling way, what needs to be done to move from isolated and transient pockets of excellence to excellence at the system level—to achieve excellent outcomes not only for students, but to continue to improve to meet future challenges.”
“In this deeply practical and grounded book, DuFour and Fullan make whole-system reform seem possible. They describe how to make the systemic become the local in every school so system goals become people goals. This book is a must-read.”
“DuFour and Fullan make a bold call to every member of the school community to align their behavior with the business of educating children. Random acts of proficiency will not transform education. It is unacceptable to leave implementation to chance.”
“Research and best practice tell us that consistently high performing schools are places where both adults and students are committed to continuous learning and where everyone values collaboration, reflection, and growth. But, how does a school ‘get there’?
“Michael Fullan and Rick DuFour suggest a strategy for becoming that type of school, district (or even region) in their compact, thought-provoking book, Cultures Built to Last: Systemic PLCs at Work. Read the full review.”
“PLCs build leadership capacity in a school by providing a collaborative vehicle to focus stakeholders on the essential questions and building coherence. If you’re looking to institute (or re-energize) PLCs in your school, I recommend Cultures Built to Last: Systemic PLCs at Work.”
