Towards A Moving School: Developing a Professional Learning

The Educational Leadership Dialogues series creates a bridge between educational research and practice, and provides resources that support educational leadership. The series teams up researchers and experienced school principals to write short, evidence-based, practical guides on topics of significance, while engaging in a rich dialogue about practice and research.

In Towards a Moving School: Developing a professional learning and performance culture, 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.
