Professor Larry Cuban
How Can I Fix It? focuses on common skills that teachers have but seldom have time to reflect on, and applies these skills to concrete situations. Concentrating on the importance of defining what specific problems are within education, this book distinguishes between routine problems and messy dilemmas. It also offers many examples of these concepts, including step-by-step analyses.
It considers the links between problems and dilemmas, and planned changes. Cuban differentiates between incremental and fundamental changes in schools and how each kind of change is viewed as a solution to a problem, or a compromise to a dilemma. Each section ends with a few case studies that illustrate different kinds of problems and the changes that have been introduced in the form of solutions.
