Conditions Fostering Educational Change

  • Chapter
Second International Handbook of Educational Leadership and Administration

Part of the book series: Springer International Handbooks of Education ((SIHE,volume 8))

Abstract

During the 1990s, large-scale reform efforts intensified as a strategy to implement educational innovations (Fullan, 2000).

In particular, we can conclude from this literature that changes in teaching practice are extremely difficult to accomplish. Within this context of intensifying educational reforms, it is important to examine the organizational potential for innovation and capacity of schools to realize large- scale innovations.
