“Getting Off the Dime” presents IRRE’s evolving thinking about creating the initial conditions and building the capacity to get meaningful reform off the ground.
This paper explores how districts and schools decide whether to choose First Things First (FTF) strategies as their approach to reform; and how FTF’s planning and early steps have continued to sharpen over time. “Getting Off the Dime” takes a particularly close look at IRRE’s evolving conception of system leadership, and what the key roles and responsibilities of system leaders are in assuring that reform is effectively supported and sustained.
