Reflection under Fullan's Framework

There are five key concepts under Fullan's Framework. I will attempt to analyse the case with respect to this framework.

1. Moral purposes
It is not clear from the discription of the case whether Mr. C has a strong sense of moral purposes as the new principal. Obviously, he wants to be a good and successful principal in the new school, and surely he must have his own vision (say in the IT aspect). However, it is not easy to judge whether he bring such a sense of moral purpose to the school and how he does it.

2. Under the change process
Since Mr. C has worked in both the EDB and a couple of schools, he should be well aware of what changes are needed and their impacts to the school. It seems that from the descriptions quite a number of changes have been introduced since his appointment, but judging from the favourable outcome mentioned, it seems that the school has adapted to the changes quite smoothly.

3. Building good relationship
This may be a strong point of Mr. C. As mentioned, he has a good networking in the HK context as well as outside HK. However, internal good relationship within the school community is also crucial.

4. Knowledge building
As a advocate of IT, I am sure that Mr. C will work very hard in building and sharing out knowledge among staff members to enhance their capacity.

5. Coherence Making
This depends how all the plans, strategies are interconnected together.
