Abstract	Despite the claims of a popular slogan, the world does not change one person at a time. It changes as networks of relationships form among people who share a common cause and vision of what is possible. This is good news for those who want to change public education. Making connections however is not the whole story. This article describes how a large-scale change or systemwide reform really happens. Systemwide reform always begins with small local efforts that connect to one another, according to the authors, who are affiliated with The Berkana Institute. Change results when networks evolve into intentional working relationships where new knowledge, practices, courage and commitment can develop. (ERIC).
