Om denne bog

This book draws on aspects of complexity theory and its integral link to systems performance, to propose a new method of combatting the longstanding opportunity gap and related underperformance of so many underserved students in the American educational system.

Through a longitudinal case study of the Lynch Leadership Academy at Boston College, the research considers the initial conditions and related disequilibrium principals experienced, the degree to which principals shared power and authority within their school context, and the extent to which they generated a shared school culture founded on collaboration and systematic reflection. From these data, the authors create a detailed picture of the Academy and its impact on the principals and their schools, using a new analytic tool called the “systems transformation heuristic”, designed by the authors to quantify the qualitative dimensions of a school’s efforts to enact adaptive change consistent with the complex adaptive system metaphor.

As such, it offers a new foundation for conceptualizing ongoing systems change, as well as a fresh model for school personnel to consider their experience from concrete, intertwined, and unique points of view. It will appeal to scholars, researchers, and practitioner with interests in educational leadership, complexity theory, urban education, and social justice.
