Opis

Learn to Transform presents a philosophy, style and approach to school improvement and transformation that responds to schools' current needs and aspirations. It shows how schools in all settings, and at any stage of development, can be transformed by identifying strategies to enable them to move forward. The Learn to Transform approach:
- Enables any school to explore where they are now and where they might be
- Identifies factors that will act as catalysts and/or inhibitors for the transformation journey
- Uniquely combines content and process elements with key cultural dynamics to offer a means of assuring transformation is successful. This second edition tests, trials and takes forward the original model with case studies of successful transformation in a range of different contexts. Transformation can be realisable, attainable and sustainable - this book offers a framework for you to engage confidently with the transformation agenda and provides a range of examples to encourage and support you in creating your own 'transformation journey'.
