School Improvement Reviews

'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
