More so than ever UK schools are being encouraged to think seriously about modernisation and remodelling. This title not only shows schools how to achieve this but it also provides strategies for making change sustainable for the future.>This book is about workforce modernisation and cultural change. In the last few years, remodelling has been taking place in UK schools and in local authorities, children's centres, and locally based agencies and services that support young people. Some of these organisations have worked through the remodelling process but others need to and would benefit from doing so. The book will be of benefit to all as its primary focus is on sustainable change rather than simply getting started. Work has recently begun on remodelling in the Further Education sector.

Leaders often need to alter their style and learn new skills to facilitate change. Chapter 1: The Imperative for change - The context for remodelling today - Global issues - Public Sector Reform: e.g. more local control of public services; increased regulation from Europe - Key challenges including economic stability, social cohesion and social equity. - Future vision/scenarios: reference to Every Child Matters, The Children's Plan, inclusion, looked after children, cultural diversity etc.
Chapter 2: Remodelling: The early days The principles of remodelling and why they are important/essential to the process. Remodelling: where it came from; what it is; description of the change process (stages/ tools/skills), change levers, role of change agent, change teams Why it works: remodelling is a cycle for continuous improvement.
Chapter 3: Remodelling: Extending the agenda - Five years in: the evidence base; including case studies. The remodeling change process has proved itself a very adept and powerful tool in helping schools develop appropriate and sustainable extended services. - Effective partnership working - Multi-agency working - Personalization - The importance of shared leadership. - Adaptation of the remodeling process for School Improvement Planning.
Chapter 4: Remodelling: The process - The 5 stages of the remodeling change process (TDA terminology): Mobilize, discover, Deepen, Develop and Deliver, and the implicit sixth stage: Sustain. - Linking the remodelling process to the change curve: the 'dip' during the challenging early stages of the process that requires most support. - An example of a change team: the membership of a change team in an education/children's services context, but applicable across different sectors.
