DALLAS—December 8, 2009—The National Staff Development Council presented the Staff Development Book of the Year Award to Change Wars, edited by Andy Hargreaves and Michael Fullan.
This award recognizes a book that makes a significant contribution to the field of staff development.
In this award-winning book published by Solution Tree, these change specialists bring together educational luminaries from around the globe to share their theories-in-action on how to achieve deep change.
As Andy Hargreaves notes, “Despite our differences, we are part of the same change family—supporting each other where we can and challenging each other when we must.”
Hargreaves is the Thomas More Brennan Chair in Education at Boston College and founding editor-in-chief of the Journal of Educational Change.
Fullan is professor emeritus at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto and heads Leadership for Change, an independent organization that develops leadership capacity in educators.
NSDC presented the prestigious award at its 41st Annual Conference in St. Louis, Mo. NSDC’s annual awards program recognizes individuals for their commitment to improving student achievement through effective professional learning. The School Improvement Network sponsored the 2009 awards.
