DYNAMIC TRANSITIONS offers a framework for moving from disjointed educational programs to a unified plan with a focus of improving academic achievement for all students. The challenge is to put systems into place that positively affect classroom instruction, improve the way teachers work and learn together, and impact student performance.
Schools have endured many changes over the years. However, implementing change in schools today is different from "educational change" of the past because the world is more complex, and the problems we face are more difficult. The "program" approach of the past will not suffice. Comprehensive reform and continuous improvement are now the expectations at both the local, state, and federal levels. Not only is it possible to do both, it is exciting because it brings the results that we, as educators, have been striving for so long.
"Education will become the center of the knowledge society
and the school its key institution. . .Increasingly an educated person
will be somebody who has learned how to learn and who continues
learning, especially by formal education, throughout his (her) lifetime."
--Peter F. Drucker
