I can't think of a more worthy endeavor as we enter the new millennium and focus on the hopes and dreams for the next century. The vast changes that have taken place in knowledge, information and technology have been so dramatic that one might believe that change will occur at a less rapid rate in the future. This is simply not true. The rate of change will persist in the near future and will actually accelerate in subsequent years. That's why schools must be dynamic and have a high penchant for change.
Education means change.
After all, gaining education denotes the assimilation of knowledge, information, facts and technology so that people can make a change in their behavior and can reduce or eliminate personal biases against change. Our entire society bases progress upon planned change. We must continue to have a strong propensity to introduce change into our schools for the enhancement of learning. My personal belief, as an educational leader, is that change will continue to be all around us and will continue to impact our lives, whether we like it or not. If we can approach change positively, with a proactive posture, we can effectively manage change rather than be forced to react to the changes and experience negative outcomes.
