The Self-Organizing School

The Self-Organizing School shows what it takes to sustain and scale technology-driven school reform. This book captures the scope and the process from theory to practice and includes essential understandings for anyone interested in large-scale change in education.

-- Angus King, United States Senator and former Governor of Maine

The Self-Organizing School places technology where it belongs in school reform—at the heart of what students and teachers do in the classroom every day. I highly recommend it to everyone interested in school change and the role technology can play in making educational reform deep, meaningful, and sustainable.

-- Mark Weston, PhD, former Global Education Strategist at Dell Inc. and Director of Strategic Initiatives Group at Apple Inc.

The Self-Organizing School is unique providing a comprehensive research-driven approach to site-based school reform that successfully melds the theoretical and the practical. Bain understands the realities and challenges from a leadership perspective and embeds his study in real-world examples drawn from a longitudinal school reform process. The Self-Organizing School is a must for all school leaders committed to effecting real, transformational change in today’s demanding educational context.
