PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW BOOK PREPARES EDUCATORS TO SURVIVE CHANGE
Syracuse, NY-Surviving Change: A Survey of Educational Change Models, is
written to prepare organizations and individuals to recognize change as a
normal part of our lives and to learn how to manage change effectively.
Sometimes, aspects of change can seem overwhelming as educators and
administrators seek to respond to the needs of their students and society.
Educators need to understand how the change process works based upon the
change research, literature, and multiple perspectives represented in this
book.
Surviving Change: A Survey of Educational Change Models, published by the
ERIC Clearinghouse on Information & Technology, introduces the change
communication model and proposes the need to approach change with a
strategy in mind. Ellsworth examines the change literature and presents the
history and orientation of seven well-known change communication models.
Chapters consider the notions of innovation, the change environment, change
agents, the change process, intended adopters, resistance to change, and
changing the system.
James B. Ellsworth, author, is professor of online education at the United
States Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island. Ellsworth was formerly
chief of evaluation research and development for the U.S. Army's
Intelligence Center at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. He taught recently in the
educational psychology and educational technology program at the University
of Arizona's Sierra Vista Campus and serves as communications officer for
the Association for Educational Communications and Technology's (AECT)
Council on Systemic Change.
