employ tactics and strategies based on the traditional mass-production organizational
paradigm (SCANS, 1991; O’Neil, Allred, & Baker, 1992; Richter & Godbey, 1993).
Agility is about mastering change. The four operating dimensions associated
with agility define how change has become a permanent reality, and offer strategies that
capitalize on the new economic market marked by fast-paced change. As Fullan (1990)
notes: “The answer is not in avoiding change, but in turning the tables by facing it headon.
The new mind-set is to exploit change before it victimizes us. Change is more likely
to be an ally than an adversary, if it is confronted” (p. 345). Educators must begin the
paradigm shift toward the revolutionary agile operating dimensions that capitalize on
change. Furthermore, educators must consider adopting the model that recent business
practice has provided in its agile response to the new economic world order. The
organizational concept of “agility” presents an opportunity for educators to break the
“reform-without-reform” cycle.
Evidence suggests that some educators have already begun to implement
techniques which could be classified as agile practices. Throughout the United States
and countries around the globe, pockets of individual schools and school systems have
responded to environmental realities by fundamentally changing how they think about
educational systems. While not labeled as such in the literature, these strategies tend to
have the defining characteristics of an agile organization. Schools implementing agilelike
practices may be classified as agile learning communities and agile learning
communities can meet the demands of the new educational paradigm.
