Driving School Improvement: Practical Strategies and Tools is designed to support school leaders in practical, adaptable and context-specific ways to advance their school's improvement journey.
Driving School Improvement: A Practical Guide is designed to support school leaders in meeting their improvement challenge in ways that can be contextualised to their circumstances. Its focus is implementation, and it therefore contains tools, activities, and pro formas that have been used successfully in a range of schools. These can be adapted to suit a particular context. While there are many books focused on school improvement, this book is a practical gem, as it advocates that a school first diagnoses where it is at, rather than adopt a 'one size fits all' strategy. The self-assessments, tools, processes, and case studies provided then enable a school to craft its own improvement approach.
