Change can be interesting, challenging, easy, difficult, and sometimes fun. The Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM): Constructs, Evidence, Applications, and Implications for Facilitating Change, edited by Gene E. Hall, a key originator of CBAM, uses a research-tested model to introduce students in education to ways of thinking, strategies, and steps that leaders can take to facilitate and advance change processes in their own schools. The primary focus of this book and method is on understanding the thoughts, perceptions, feelings, and concerns of the people who are engaged with change and finding systematic ways to address them. This edited volume provides clear instruction from researchers who know CBAM best, experiences and case studies from a wide variety of educational settings, and strong pedagogy so readers can learn CBAM and apply this model to their educational systems.
