- Summary:
- This book makes an important contribution to existing teachers competence in the area of quality enhancement and present reflections on practice distilled over a lifetime of work in education towards developing teachers and enhancing the effectiveness of learning.
- Methods by which this can be done are discussed and strategies for unlocking the potential within an organisation are explored. The role of a critical friend is outlined, and the potential power of somebody who is trusted probing an action plan in order to clarify ideas is suggested. A model of validated self review is put forward, and a case study from one LEA is used to provide evidence of the theory in practice. A productive partnership with schools led to improved quality and the involvement of teachers in the process.
