Implementing Change: Patterns, Principles, and Potholes » (3rd Edition)

Gene Hall has over thirty years of experience studying the change process in schools, higher education, businesses, and governments. He has been a faculty member and administrator at four universities and is on the author team of Foundations of American Education (Allyn & Bacon, 2011), and The Joy of Teaching (Allyn & Bacon, 2008). He has conducted many studies of change processes, program evaluations and implementation assessments. He also serves regularly as a change process coach for leaders and aspiring leaders.

A research-based guide for educators to the practical methods of understanding, evaluating and facilitating the change process.

Significantly revised based on student and instructor feedback, the new third edition of Implementing Change continues to examine the ways in which change processes are experienced by those "on the ground" while adding new features, new material and the most current research. Based primarily on the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM), this user-friendly text focuses on introducing constructs that can be used by those engaged in facilitating change processes as well as those who are evaluating and studying change.

Rather than maintaining a bird’s eye view of change processes, each chapter introduces a research-based, research-verified construct about change that captures the complexity of implementing change and the diversity of reactions to it. With a stress on pedagogical aids, each chapter incorporates practical examples, sample research, case studies, reflection questions and examples of common roadblocks to change.
