Butler addresses what he sees as the lack of true transformational partnerships between schools and their partners. He pushes schools to imagine partnerships that go beyond transactional relationships focused on funding to relationships that include key stakeholders working across organizations to develop real innovation. Butler asserts that greater levels of change can occur when partners work together to change how things are done and have tough conversations about drivers of culture and achievement. Transformational partnerships represent an untapped opportunity for school redesign and school improvement.
