Outside of the fact that this book constantly insults teachers' intelligence and abilities, the book also continues to focus on issues that have been identified - especially in the last 11 years since the book's last edition - without providing suggestions for solutions. Stating that assessment can be changed with a deep mind shift by 'students, teachers, and parents' without acknowledging the political and governmental landscape that is forcing standardized testing and inaccurate comparisons on...more

This is a great working model for just about everything as all things are really systems. Leaders (those who direct systems) need to read this book. Educators definitely need to understand the ways their actions affect the learning systems.

This is the book that I come back to when I want a lift in my education reading. A must for every teacher, administrator, and parent.
It has multiple stickies, and highlighters.

This has been an incredibly powerful book for changing the way that I think about my responsibility in education. The book really opened my eyes to the complexity of the public education system and the importance of us understanding our role(s) within that system. Simply doing 'your job' is not enough - we must understand how our role fits in with other roles and work together to develop coordinated solutions to the complex problems we face. I also came away with an even strong belief that educa...more

This book is not designed to be read cover-to-cover, the way that I read it. I'm teaching a doctoral class in a program that is designed around systems thinking. Students will read the book throughout the program, as they explore ways to incorporate systems thinking into their work and communities. I would recommend that anyone exploring systems thinking in education start by reading the introductory chapters, and then skim, according to interest. It was a long read to go through in order, thoug...more

Whoa! I chose this meaty book for a book study @ work. Those that know me, I am not inclined to reading much non-fiction cover to cover. But hey -- free book & getting paid for book club meetings. Not a bad deal.

There is a wealth of knowledge in this book - everything from how to better communicate on the job to how to build a learning organization to how to re-envision our schools with a living metaphor, schools that learn and grow, as opposed to a machine metaphor, schools that produce.
Over veranderingsmanagment zijn heel wat boeken geschreven heb ik begrepen, ieder met zijn eigen aanpak en visie. ik denk dat de visie van Peter Senge heel goed in het onderwijs past. Door dit boek ben ik heel wat andere boeken gaan lezen die ook op de digitale plank staan.

I did my first 'smarty-pants' presentation for my Masters in Education Administration using a chapter out of this book. It was on systemic thinking. See? Smarty-pants.
In all seriousness, this is a very progressive book on school leadership. Quite heady at times.

A book that focuses specifically on community, schools and education, to help reclaim schools in economically depressed districts.
i consistently use this book as a resource for research papers. I am a Senge disciple.

Conceptos de aprendizaje aplicables a instituciones educativas y organizaciones...un libro esencial para toda persona involucrada con el aprendizaje.
The start has been delightful. I am not going in sequence. Post the introduction, I have moved to Page 100 - about the classroom.
Great book for anyone wanting to make a change at their school...for K-12 but could be applied to the college level as well.
great writing, easy to pick up at any point and find something- some nugget of information and inspiration-
