It can be used in conjunction with any curriculum and provides a coherent but flexible teaching and learning framework to underpin the curriculum.The first edition of this bestselling book introduced the HPL model to schools, and leaders in thousands of schools around the world have found that they can achieve amazing results for the entire school community and a more positive yet ambitious culture across the school.
