What school leaders say
‘I really wish I had done this training before I embarked on my current project.’
— Elaine Long, Associate Professor, Centre for Educational Leadership, UCL Institute of Education
‘The slice team has been a transformative way for us of implementing change.’
— Sean Thomas, Raising Standards Leader, Milford Haven School
‘I really wish I had done this training before I embarked on my current project.’
— Sara Ward, Pastoral Deputy Head, Trinity School
‘People don’t talk enough about the science of implementation, and equally the training is very scarce. And yet it’s such a key area of understanding for a school, or any institution, if they are going to attempt change. That’s why this programme is so valuable – because it’s something we’re doing all the time, but we’ve never really been trained in it.’
— Alasdair Kennedy, Headteacher, Trinity School
‘This book couldn’t have come along at a better time for us in our school journey; it has really provided a clear and effective pathway for implementing change.’
— Dr Debra Kidd, Leader of learning and teaching, British School of Brussels
‘The impact has been huge. Now we’ve got buy-in, we’ve got the relationships and we’ve also got a collaborative culture and consistency. As a school, moving forward, everything we try to implement will be done using this method because we’ve found it so successful. So go for it!’
— Sarah O’Kelly, Deputy Head, Queen Elizabeth High School
What system leaders say
‘Your no-nonsense companion for securing school change - steeped in evidence and packed with practical insight.’
— Peps Mccrea, Director of Education, Steplab and author, Evidence Snacks
‘Making Change Stick is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the science of implementation and improvement. 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, Visiting fellow, Centre for Education Leadership, UCL Institute of Education
‘It’s easy to be overwhelmed by books offering advice. If you read one this year, read this. It exudes practical wisdom.’
Sir Anthony Seldon, Former Vice-Chancellor, University of Buckingham and author, The Fourth Education Revolution
