Best, a former teacher in the UK and current education consultant specializing in teaching and learning and school improvement, presents case studies that demonstrate how teachers and school leaders from secondary schools in the UK have created change. He explains how different schools have focused on learning, created a culture of enterprise, and used other methods to create school-wide change, along with chapters on collaborative education, what teachers and subject leaders have done at the classroom or departmental level, general lessons they have learned, and barriers to innovation. In the final chapter, Best outlines recommendations at the national, regional, and local level. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
