This book examines the school as an operational organization through the lens of systems thinking. In this way it serves as an invitation to look again at schools and how they operate as learning systems. It begins by showing exactly why our inherited, industrial school model, can never be made to work effectively no matter how hard school leaders try or how well schools are judged.

This book uses systems thinking to explain and describe the management unlearning and new learning needed to create deep and fundamental changes to the way schools operate as complete learning entities. It explains why the reinstatement of the personal tutor in a vertical system is essential to the creation of a learning organization within a complete home/school operational learning process; one capable of building a values driven and more purposeful school culture within a more relevant and coherent society.

Industry Reviews
Peter Barnard takes us on a journey that analyses how the linearity of the ubiquitous industrial school mode acts to place limits on teaching and learning. Using these insights we are presented with a litany of practical design ideas needed to create a learning organisation. He calls this vertical tutoring, a cultural change that inspires positive learning relationships, and which is at the heart of his vision for education in the 21st Century. We read his book and listened to what he had to say and as a result many aspects of our school have been transformed.
