Reviews
This book represents a refreshing antidote to advocates of simplistic 'policy borrowing' and top down reform approaches, not just because it relates the story of a real school improvement programme that stands up as one of England's genuine success stories, but also because the author provides an alternative strategy and framework for (potentially more) sustainable and equitable change. - Toby Greaney, Professional Development Today This is one of the most extraordinarily powerful books on school improvement and positive systemic change I have ever read. And it bears a message that the world needs to acknowledge. - Andy Hargreaves Mel Ainscow does a masterful job in capturing with great clarity how to lead change in complex whole systems. He led the Greater Manchester Challenge and was clearly immersed in it, but as an author he has the uncanny ability to write as if he was an observer. A great book. - Michael Fullan
