Learn to Transform

`Learn To Transform is a masterpiece of school improvement literature! Authors David Crossley and Graham Corbyn provide theory that is customized to fit a wide variety of particular school settings, vignettes that bristle with the messy on-the-ground realities of schools in challenging circumstances, and proven strategies for success.'---Dennis Shirley, Professor of Education at the Lynch School of Education, Boston College, USA

`This is the book for our times. It properly encapsulates what we all now know to be true: the most effective and sustainable way for schools to improve is to work powerfully in partnership with each other. The great thing about this book is it shows how this actually happens, how any school can do it and how great achievement is possible for every one of our students.'---Stephen Munday, Executive Principal, Comberton Village College, Cambridge, UK

`This book adds immensely to our understanding of school improvement and is essential reading for all school leaders and teachers. In presenting a philosophy, style and distinctive approach to school improvement and transformation a fine balance is struck between theory and practice.'---Alan Yellup, Headteacher, Wakefield City High School, Wakefield, UK

`A timely and important book. For those committed to changing schools and school systems for the better, it provides a clear framework and a robust model of change. It also signals that transforming schools and school systems is within our reach and that securing better outcomes for all young people in all contexts is a real possibility.'---Alma Harris, Professor and Pro-Director (Leadership), Institute of Education, University of London, UK
