This paradigm doesn't work or, at best, doesn't work on the scale that is necessary. We must change from the lens of reform to the lens of transformation. Francis M. Duffy argues for a revolution---a revolution of paradigm shifts to create educational systems for the twenty-first-century global, interdependent environment in which we will either thrive or die. Duffy builds on his prior writings about transformational change and leaders with courage, passion, and vision to create a framework to revolutionize education. The question before us all is `Will we act?'"---Jack Dale, superintendent, Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia "Francis M. Duffy is one of the nation's leading educators when it comes to the need for transformation in education. His newest book continues the tradition of advocating for reform in a holistic, realistic, and practical way and should be required reading of anyone concerned with the status of K-12 education in the United States today. Of special note is Duffy's focus on long-term change as opposed to simple slogans and easy answers, which we hear from some regarding education. This is a book well worth reading!"---Tom Houlihan, president/CEO, Institute for Breakthrough Performance; former executive director, Council of Chief State School Officers Dream! Create! Sustain! is written for courageous, passionate, and visionary change leaders working in school systems throughout the world. It provides those change leaders with essential concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics for how to create and sustain whole-system change in their school systems. The information provided by Francis M. Duffy is based on years of research and real-world experience with systemic change, learning organizations, systems thinking, and organization-wide change. This book includes a description of a transformational change methodology and set of tools specifically designed to create and sustain whole-system change.
