Timeless and Timely Advice: A Commentary on “Consultation to Facilitate Planned Organizational Change in Schools,” an article by Joseph E. Zins and Robert J. Illback

Abstract

This commentary on Zins and Illback's (1995) article, Consultation to Facilitate Planned Organizational Change in Schools, argues that the authors provided a solid foundation for well-planned, proactive, sustainable, internally-driven systemic change in schools that has yet to be widely realized. Their school organizational change model and more recent change models provide guidance for realizing a change from an individual, remedial focus to a population-based and preventative practice.
