Characteristics of Successful Schools

CHAPTER THREE
How Do We Bring It All Together?

HOW WILL WE CONTINUE TO FOCUS AND SUSTAIN SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS?

Education deals with many issues during the course of the school day, the semester, and the school year. Education is not a fluid process; we cannot send children home while we “retool” for school improvement. Educational change is like trying to fix the airplane while it is “enroute”. Since our target is long-range, it is critical to remain focused on the target and to keep people motivated to reach that target.

Professional development and continued leadership are key means for sustaining momentum.
