Recensioner i media

'Offers valuable guidance for school leaders, policy makers and legislators about how to achieve school improvement that is effective and enduring.' - Teachers College Record'As the title suggests, the primary focus of this work is the committed teacher - it is aimed at those who work in schools. If all the books in the series are as good as this one, it will play an important role in making the wider research literature, national and international, available to a professional community whose time is precious.' - Danny Murphy, Improving Schools'Distils recent school improvement research to make a powerful case for what works.' - Times Educational Supplement
