Whilst this is widely acknowledged by teachers, they have lacked a rich professional knowledge base from which they can teach their pupils how to learn. This book aims to make a contribution to the creation of such a professional knowledge base for teachers.
Reassesses the purpose of schools, the nature of learning and the qualities of leadership that make schools authentic places of learning. This work offers five principles for practice: a focus of learning; an environment for learning; a learning dialogue; shared leadership; and accountability internal and external.
