“…When writing a mission statement, it should reflect the highest ideals of the team as well as the realities of their context (see D 'Souza et al, 2011;Simerly, 1998 for examples).

Moreover, the values included in the mission statement guide everything the organisation does, affects decision making, and provide a direct measure of the organisation's daily actions (Blanchard & O' Connor, 1997).…”

Change in higher education creates many risks to the sustainability of teaching practices. In this paper, we review some perspectives and resources on change in higher education and examine strategies for educators to participate in sustainable change. Central to this is the role of local mission statements, formulated to consciously reflect common values and purpose within a team of colleagues, and used to guide decision making, particularly in times of change. This discussion considers changes in teaching practice, such as those required for active learning, informed by principles concerning general organisational change, and specific qualities of contemporary higher education in the sciences.
