This research presents a comparative analysis of six school-based projects that successfully integrated change management principles with quality assurance strategies to achieve sustainable educational improvement. In response to evolving technological, pedagogical, and social demands, schools must adopt change not only as innovation but as a structured, measurable process. The projects analyzed in this study applied key change management models—Kotter’s 8-Step Process, Lewin’s 3-Phase Model, and the ADKAR model—alongside quality tools such as diagnostic assessments, performance indicators, and stakeholder feedback mechanisms. Each project tackled a different theme, including critical thinking, bullying prevention, formative assessment, and communication reform. Despite varied contexts, they shared common success factors: clear diagnostic phases, early stakeholder engagement, the use of structured change models, and continuous monitoring. Challenges included time limitations and varying degrees of staff commitment. The research highlights key recommendations: integrating change management training into professional development, fostering reflective practices through quality tools, and promoting shared leadership and accountability. It concludes that sustainable change in education requires coherence between innovation and evaluation, supported by a culture of collaboration. These six case studies offer a practical roadmap for educational leaders seeking to implement effective, lasting reforms.
