The Reinventing Education Change Toolkit
http://www.reinventingeducation.org/RE3Web/
The Reinventing Education Change Toolkit
The Reinventing Education Change Toolkit, based on the work of Harvard Professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter, is a website created by IBM to help education professionals be more effective at leading and implementing change.
The Change Toolkit will help users to understand how structures, norms, culture, hierarchy, and roles and responsibilities in schools and school systems are helping or hindering improvement efforts, thereby making them more effective. The Change Toolkit will not help users find the "right answer" in a given situation. Instead, it will help users to think systematically about change and empower them to create a dynamic, innovative, energized school or school system.
The Change Toolkit helps users to:
- Diagnose the users' situation;
- Get quick, relevant advice;
- Poll colleagues and get anonymous feedback about progress;
- Read real-life vignettes from other educators about their experiences leading and managing change;
- Plan for change initiatives or projects;
- Collaborate with team members and hold on-line discussions.

School Workforce Remodelling
This part of TeacherNet is dedicated to information on workforce remodelling.
Remodelling is about giving teachers more time, extra support and renewed leadership. This is essential if they are to go on improving standards in schools. By restructuring the teaching profession and reforming the school workforce, we can reduce teacher workload, raise standards, increase job satisfaction and improve the status of the profession.

Transforming Learning Communities

Research School improvement and reform have established a track record in Ohio, and educators can now point to school communities that have demonstrated successful change. Generally, researchers see school change as driven by the development of “le arning communities” within schools. But little is known about how these communities come together to enrich and transform the learning experience.
