A strengths-based approach to change for Administrators, Teachers and Guidance Counselors, this Second Edition is an expanded version of the transformational aspect of education that acknowledges the background and capacity of the staff, the teacher, and the learner. The curriculum becomes a vehicle to move the learner in a positive direction based on prior knowledge and maturity. This book provides a structure to nurture relationships between the system oversight, the principal, the teachers, the students, and the parents in a four-step model known as form – storm – norm - perform. This path to positive change is needed to adopt, deploy and ultimately bring about constructive change in the teaching/learning process. All involved in the educational arena must feel comfortable with the process and be open to new thinking and learning patterns for beneficial change to become a reality.
