The Thinking School: Developing a dynamic learning community (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A modern-day reflective guide to detail how school leaders can develop a unique and expansive learning environment for teachers. The book is a practical manual that includes examples of activities that can be promoted to develop informal and formal teacher learning activities. Atwal argues that in the very workplaces where the core business is 'learning', the quality of staff learning in schools is poor and underdeveloped - there is significant room for improvement. This book is essential reading for all those interested in driving improvement in education in schools and anyone who has cared about children's learning or teacher learning.

His doctoral thesis, completed in 2016, examined the factors that influence teacher learning in schools. Kulvarn specialises in teacher professional learning. His doctoral thesis investigated the factors that impact upon teacher engagement in professional learning activities, with a particular focus on action research.
