Change Management 101 for School Leaders

In business, healthcare, government, and technology, change management is a core leadership competency. It is taught, resourced, and measured. In education, leaders who were hired to be change agents rarely have the training.

Change Management 101 for School Leaders is a five-module digital course that builds the conceptual foundation and practical tools you need to lead change with greater precision, protect the people around you, and dramatically improve the odds that your initiatives actually land.

Five modules draw on the most established frameworks in organizational change management, grounded in decades of research across organizational psychology and leadership practice:

  1. The Individual Experience of Change 
  2. The Nature of Change in School Organizations 
  3. Assessing Readiness and Anticipating Risk  
  4. Leading the Human Side of Change
  5. Sustaining Change Over Time
