Viac o knihe

Focusing on a strengths-based approach, this book presents Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as a transformative method for educational change, contrasting it with traditional deficit models. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing what works well within educational organizations to drive new initiatives. By promoting distributed leadership among constituents, AI fosters a culture of inquiry that enhances both individual and collective learning. The framework is particularly relevant for implementing the Common Core State Standards, aiming to create impactful reforms through collaborative engagement and shared leadership.
