From Reform to Reimagining Education equips school leaders to rethink and implement new educational strategies beyond the current traditional school model.

Providing leaders with critical insights into developing resilient educational systems readied for rapidly changing contexts, this book helps educators reimagine leading schools forward with confidence and to become futures-leaders. Futures-leaders need a new mindset to see the future, plan today, and prepare to undertake a challenging journey ahead – with special journal entry prompts and activities throughout and a culminating “Futures-Ready Action Plan,” this cutting-edge textbook helps aspiring school and district leaders start on that journey of reflection and engagement, empowering them to lead forward-thinking systems into dynamic futures.
