PRAISE FOR MAKING CHANGE STICK
James Mannion combines deep insight and understanding of the complexity of change management in schools with practical, down-to-earth strategies and processes that school leaders can use. This is a fabulous and unique book. Every school leader should have a copy. I loved it.
Steve Munby - Visiting Professor at University College London Centre for Educational Leadership and former CEO of the National College for School Leadership
James Mannion’s Making Change Stick is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the science of implementation and improvement, applied to the world of education. Mannion examines the reasons why so much of the precious financial and human resource invested in change management in schools fails to have the desired impact. He provides a step-by-step approach to change implementation, designed to improve pupil outcomes, that is research-informed but simply explained. The book is packed full of sage advice, practical activities, helpful questions, grids and diagrams and clear and relevant worked examples. Each of the short chapters has a useful summary. Mannion’s credibility comes from thorough research and years of working with leaders and practitioners on making change stick in a wide range of schools and settings
Rachel Macfarlane - Lead adviser for underserved learners, Herts for Learning and author, The A-Z of Diversity & Inclusion
This is a book for every leader who is looking again at how to make change happen and stay happened... and then see it make an impact. Making Change Stick offers a 'what to do and what not to do’ outlook and urges change makers to get the right group of people involved. It is a handbook with a readable research background, clear principles and step by step advice.
Mick Waters - Former Director of Curriculum for England and author, About our Schools
In this wonderful book, James helps school leaders answer that eternal question of how to effectively implement change in a meaningful, productive and lasting way. In an engaging manner, he takes you through the process and enables the reader to have a practical understanding of implementation science and change management. The schools I lead now have 'slice teams' working through every new project!
