This updated edition shows how the principal's role continues to change--alongside our changing world--and how we can embrace the transformation in short order.

I Ledelse som setter spor utdyper Fullan hva han mener skal til for at ledere skal kunne bidra til dype og varige endringer i sine organisasjoner. Boken handler om hva ledere kan gjøre for å skape en skole der elevene beholder sitt engasjement og sin lidenskap for å lære til beste for sine omgivelser og menneskeheten. Forfatteren stiller mange gode spørsmål, og han gir leserne konkrete råd om hvordan de kan forholde seg til utfordringer de står overfor.Boken er strukturert rundt seks spenningsfelt som Fullan mener ledere må håndtere. Det første handler om hvordan ledere kan kombinere moralske imperativ og oppløftende lederskap. Det andre dreier seg om spenningen mellom innhold og prosess, mens det tredje viser til hvordan ledere må klare å finne balansen mellom egen læring og ledelse av andre. Å se elever snarere som endringsagenter enn som passive konsumenter av kunnskap skildres i det fjerde spenningsfeltet. Det femte omhandler spenningen mellom det å mate og det å bli matet av systemet. Til sist drøftes spenningen som ligger i at ledere må være essensielle aktører i utviklingen på egen skole og samtidig bygge kompetanse og kapasitet slik at de selv blir overflødige i skolens videre drift og utvikling.Målgruppen for boken er ledere i oppvekst- og utdanningssektoren, lærere, leder- og lærerutdannere samt alle andre med interesse for utdanningsfeltet.

Dybdelæring er en bok som tar for seg et fornyet læringsbegrep og en filosofi om en omfattende systemendring i skole- og utdanningssystem. Det 21. århundre bringer med seg nye utfordringer som stiller skole- og utdanningssystemet overfor nye krav og forventninger fra storsamfunnet. I dagens og fremtidens samfunn er lokale, nasjonale og globale problemer vevd inn i hverandre. Det bidrar til et behov for et fornyet lærings- og kunnskapssyn som er tilpasset vår tid, og som er egnet til å skape den fremtiden vi ønsker oss.Forfatterne Michael Fullan, Joanne Quinn og Joanne McEachen løfter frem termen dybdelæring som en forutsetning for at elever på alle nivåer skal kunne tilegne seg nødvendig kunnskap. De understreker betydningen av at alle lærere og ledere i skolen imøtekommer alle elevers behov og interesser i skolehverdagen i et helt annet omfang enn det hittil har vært tradisjon for. Forfatternes kunnskapsgrunnlag og teoriutvikling fra NPDL - New Pedagogies for Deep Learning - i syv land og over 1200 skoler representerer en rekke funn fra forsknings- og utviklingsarbeid som kan ha stor overføringsverdi til norsk skole.De digitale verktøyene og infrastrukturene som er tilgjengelige i dag, fremheves som en sentral forutsetning for dybdelæringsprosesser og læringserfaringer. Boken formidler forskning som viser hvordan vi kan realisere kompetanser og læring tilpasset dagens og fremtidens samfunn.Alle som er interessert i moderne skoletenkning og skoleutvikling - lærere, ledere og utdannere - vil ha stort utbytte av den nyeste forskningen innenfor dybdelæringsprosesser.
