Leading Major Change in Education: What the Beatles Can Teach Us

JMP Consulting, Ltd. is proud to announce a new Administrator Academy workshop, approved by the State of Illinois.  It is a workshop about the change process, using the career, music and movies of The Beatles as a powerful and exciting analogy. This new and creative learning experience is being offered during the 2012-2013 school year in West Cook, South Cook, DuPage and Lake County Educational Service Centers.

Leading Major Change in Education:  What The Beatles Can Teach Us

"The success of school leaders in effecting significant and sustained change is somewhat sketchy over time. Changes come and go, often failing, fading away or surviving only minimally. This course aims to help school leaders recognize the “big picture” process for change. Using an approach combining research on change leadership in education with a case study of large-scale, fundamental cultural change, participants will view the change process using a new lens."
