description: If you are initiating school change, consider using the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) as a guide through the process. And you'll find that Taking Charge of Change is the most readable introduction to this method of predicting teacher behavior during a change process. Many school leaders and education researchers have turned to Taking Charge of Change when implementing a new program at a school. They find its lucid description of the CBAM provides concepts, tools, and techniques they can use to facilitate school change and improvement programs. As important, this book is written for working educators - whether they are in the school district central office or the principal's office or the classroom - who are responsible for leading a new program. Educators recognize their own school district in the fictional Springdale School District these authors invented to make CBAM concepts concrete. Taking Charge of Change is a cornerstone in the school change literature for educators.
