Description:
Two leading educational experts examine the theory and practice behind schools with strong learning and performance cultures. They explore why and how schools become 'moving' schools, with teachers who have high levels of professional accountability, taking personal and collective responsibility for improving students' learning and their own teaching methods. Moreover, they explain why and how school leaders should understand and respect the complexity of teachers' professional knowledge base and value their work accordingly.
