If you’ve been wondering how to effectively turn system overload and fragmentation into focused and coherent school, district and system change, look no further. Taking Action (TAG) is a hands-on guide to Fullan and Quinn’s groundbreaking book, Coherence: The Right Drivers in Action for Schools, Districts and Systems. It provides step-by-step protocols to help you foster deeper coherence for maximum student learning—all within a reasonably short time frame. The video links, print resources, diagnostic planning tools, protocols and activities provide a delivery “skill set” to develop:

  • Ongoing and specific coalition-building actions
  • Leadership and capacity-building skills
  • Critical organizational coherence assessments 
  • Effective and efficient systems to assess your organization
