Reviews for The Devil Is in the Details: System Solutions for Equity, Excellence, and Student Well-Being

By taking both bird's eye and ground-level view of systemic change, Michael Fullan and Mary Jean Gallagher offer trenchant insights into why a relentless torrent of top-down policies have failed to transform education systems and why countless grassroots, transformative solutions have failed to take root and spread across the system. Drawing upon research and real-world experiences, Fullan and Gallagher show us a way forward, one that encourages leaders at all levels of the system to start with the details-small moves that can transform students' daily learning experiences-and build improvement plans and education policies up from there. Anyone who shares Fullan and Gallagher's sense of urgency for providing students with opportunities for deeper learning would do well to read and apply the lessons from this book. -- Bryan Goodwin, President and CEO of McREL International and author of Building a Curious School: Restore the Joy That Brought You to School
