Books in the Teacher Quality and School Development series

Building upon Huberman's classic study, this title probes not only teachers' everyday lives, but also the ways in which they negotiate the pitfalls of professional development and the different life and work 'scenarios' that challenge their sense of identity, well-being and effectiveness.

The book explores the ways in which teachers across the world are currently working together in professional learning communities (PLCs) to generate meaningful change and innovation in order to transform pedagogy and practice. It argues that through collective action and collaborative agency, teachers are leading educational reform.
