Quote by : 'A book that takes a very clear strategic and practical view of leadership and the development of professional potential in schools. But it is more than this, as the Davies link what is often a purely functionalist approach to school management, to one that is embedded in values and culture in the knowledge that at the end of the day, it is this that really makes the difference to the life chances of our students' -
David Hopkins, School Leadership and Management
'Brent and Barbara Davies provide a new 21st century paradigm for staff development in schools. They champion diversity, personalisation, ethics and shared responsibility. In our challenging times, when the creativity, innovation and adaptability of school staff will define the great schools we need, this book will be essential reading. We know that we need to develop the talent and potential of every child. Now we must recognise our need to do the same for school staff. This book shows how we can build the capacity to ensure the continued development of all our schools' -
