Summary:

"At the heart of the book is a fresh perspective on schooling, in which teacher agency is considered fundamental to professional development and school improvement. Compelling evidence into the role of teachers in school change provides the basis for frameworks and practical models, while examples of projects and programmes illustrate how to make this explicit in professional development and school improvement. Readers are invited to reconceptualise professional development, re-imagine school improvement and focus on enabling teacher agency as the foundation for change"-- Provided by publisher.
