COMPREHENSIVE PROCESS AND FRAMEWORK FOR SUSTAINABLE SYSTEM-WIDE CHANGE IN EDUCATION: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Summary/Abstract: Owing to the inherent nature of change within the educational landscape across all tiers, from grassroots school communities to district, state, and national levels, this paper outlines a robust conceptual framework and process for facilitating sustainable system-wide reform in education. The paper highlighted that while change can occur either on a piecemeal or system-wide basis, the most impactful change tends to be system-wide. System-wide reforms impact not only the learning experiences but also the organisational and governmental protocols governing the entirety of the educational structure, encompassing the learning environment, infrastructure, community involvement, and the jurisdictions of local/districts, state/province, and federal/national authorities. Sustainable system-wide transformation offers a model for inclusive change, relying on grass-roots-initiated efforts within its framework. Stakeholders guide system-wide reform efforts through continuous partnership and shared ownership. The theories, workshops, conferences, empirical research, and real-world experiences obtained through the assistance of system-wide change proponent experts are construed and analysed in this paper. This paper provides the process and conceptual framework for the introduction and implementation of a functional and sustainable system-wide change for education reform facilitation and researchers who want to explore a sustainable system-wide change process. Along with providing information on how to start and maintain a system-wide change process, the paper also explains to all stakeholders in education the types of undertakings and support essential for a system-wide change to be successful and sustainable.
