‘Michael Fullan has once again hit the ball out of the park—a grand slam. All those interested in whole system education reform will want to read this book from cover to cover.’
—Sir Michael Barber, Former Head of Tony Blair′s Delivery Unit
Author of Instruction to Deliver
‘All Systems Go is exactly what we need at this crucial time. Fullan boldly challenges politicians and professionals to unite for the good of our society. And best of all, he shows them how to do it.’
—Avis Glaze, President, Edu-quest International Inc.
Former Chief Student Officer of Ontario, Canada
A powerful approach to sustainable school system change that involves all stakeholders!
Changing whole education systems for the better, as measured by student achievement, requires coordinated leadership at the school, community, district, and government levels. Based on Michael Fullan′s work with school districts and large systems in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, this resource lays out a comprehensive action plan for achieving whole system reform.
System-wide reform becomes possible when educational leaders build collective capacity and where individual teachers, schools, and districts are committed to working together to increase their effectiveness, rather than competing against one another. This book examines:
- Successful reform initiatives in the United States and abroad
- Actions and conditions that have ensured traction and sustainability
- Ways to avoid common errors in action, funding, and policy
- New reforms at the national level that can impact learning right now
All Systems Go shows educators what must be done to strip away distractions and move an entire system forward.

Over de auteur
Michael Fullan served as Premier Dalton Mc Guinty’s Special Policy Adviser in Ontario from 2003-2013. He received the Order of Canada (OC) in December 2012 and holds five honorary doctorates from universities around the world. His ‘interim autobiography’, Surreal Change, covers his work to 2018. Michael and his colleagues are now working diligently on field-based comprehensive system change in several countries. This work operates under the umbrella of what they call the ‘shared humanity paradigm’ —Equity, Engagement, Excellence–Deep change that integrates local (school and community), middle (district/regional), and state (policy) entities.Fullan’s favorite method of learning is to partner with groups that are engaged with change; and to learn together with them. (And then to write another book about the experiences, and what was learned).Michael Fullan’s latest books are: Nuance (2019), Spirit Work and the Science of Collaboration (with Mark Edwards, 2022), The Principal 2.0 (2023), and The Drivers (with Joanne Quinn, 2023).For more information on books, articles, videos, podcasts please go to: www.michaelfullan.ca
