The key to bringing about the kind of successful and sustainable change you need is the Coherence Framework, a dynamic, customizable road map made up of four essential components: Focused direction to build collective purpose Cultivating collaborative cultures while clarifying individual and team roles Deepening learning to accelerate improvement and foster innovation Securing accountability from the inside out Coherence provides the insights and tools to drive effective leadership. Now you can gain a deeper understanding of Coherence with The Taking Action Guide to Building Coherence in Schools, Districts, and Systems . Coherence is a book that demands action – it moves from the narrative of fixing one teacher at a time, to asking about the coherence of the system (be it school, national, or world issues). Fullan and Quinn create an important narrative about direction, working together, deepening learning, and securing accountability. The book sparkles with examples of coherence in action, it makes no excuses for employing the wrong levers of change. This is the blueprint for a new vocabulary of education action; it shows where we need to go next, and is another example of Fullan at the top of his game. John Hattie Director, Melbourne Education Research Institute and Author of Visible Learning "School systems that struggle are riddled with incoherence―mismatched strategies, competing cultures, and illogical initiatives. Fullan and Quinn explain clearly how coherence can solve the problem. Based on solid research and lessons drawn from effective practice, Coherence provides a comprehensive model to guide educators as they learn and lead their way to better schools." Susan Moore Johnson Jerome T. Murphy Research Professor Harvard Graduate School of Education Review: Coherence - Coherence focuses on four major components of creating progress, growth, and improvement in a school system. A point to recognize is that the book clearly focuses on coherence as a set of values, a shared purpose, and a framework that moves a system forward. It is not a plug and play strategy to make immediate change. All four of the components–focusing direction, cultivating collaborative cultures, deeping learning, and securing accountability–require leadership and continual focus to make changes. One of the key points I resonated with most is that the focus of the book is not on centralization or decentralization of an initiative. It really focuses on building a trusting workforce through the thoughtful implementation of the work. In the final chapter, the book says, “we are not talking about mere coherence of existing elements, but a radical transformation into deep learning with all of its associated parts” (p. 136). This really sums up the focus of the book from just pulling together all of a school’s existing initiatives into a coherent framework into a focus that is wholly different. Coherence asks the reader to take on the mantle of leadership and guide a system in creating something new. Overall, I enjoyed the book, and I felt like I walked away with a useful framework for approaching change leadership in the future. I think this book fits in well with other literature that highlights the need for a common purpose and common values. Coherence cannot be accomplished alone, and this book does a good job of highlighting that and explaining how to go about creating that collective way forward. Review: A Framework That Works!! - Fullan and Quinn do an excellent job of providing a framework of coherence through culture building and collaboration. Their focus as a whole put an emphasis on focused direction, cultivating collaborative cultures, deepening learning, and securing accountability. They explain that while this framework is a must for positive culture and meaningfulness, the pathways in how to get to a certain destination are going to be different. The framework itself relies on trust and accountability (intrinsic and extrinsic) of work. Throughout the reading, evidence and data are shared about a handful of North America schools that adopted the coherence framework, providing insight to the continuous process of making and remaking the framework to work for you. The idea of this being a continuous learning cycle looks at whole systems, and zeros in on precise pedagogy, leaving you in a state of inspiration to say, "I can do and be a part of this." There are also opportunities for you to read about how the framework was put into action in various schools with data and citing to confirm the work. From large schools in Canada, to rural schools in the U.S.A, this concept and frame is feasible for all schools. Multiple opportunities are broadcasted to learn each part of the framework to see how it all fits together. Once the connection is made for 'deeper learning' a summary and final thoughts conclude each chapter. In the chapter closings, there is an opportunity to see how the framework meshes from one pillar to the next, with connections being made with purpose driven content. If you are looking for a book to help you navigate change leadership, Coherence will help lead you there through the understanding of putting the right drivers in place to lead the movement. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #57,565 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Education Reform & Policy #118 in Education (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 325 Reviews | ## Images ![Coherence: The Right Drivers in Action for Schools, Districts, and Systems - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ODkWqomvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coherence *by A***R on October 27, 2022* Coherence focuses on four major components of creating progress, growth, and improvement in a school system.
