About this title

Review:

`Transforming Learning and Teaching is well worth reading. The story of five schools acting together to improve what they do is a heroic and admirable one, especially in the present climate. The pressure to comply with prevailing orthodoxy, rather than devise orginal treatments, has been too strong for many to act with the same courage and insight as the five Redbridge schools, but it can be done with enthusiasm and integrity, as these teachers, heads and pupils show′ - Ted Wragg, The Times Educational Supplement

`This is a fascinating study that deserves a wide readership′ - Headteacher Update

`Rigorous, realistic, accessible and eye-opening - this book ought to be at the well-thumbed heart of any primary school where building children′s "learning power" is a genuine priority′ - Guy Claxton, Professor of the Learning Sciences, University of Bristol

′For school practitioners, this book has much to commend it. It presents a convincing picture of the challenges which face any new initiative, and of the improvement which resulted in pupils′ learning.′ - Janet A. Harvey, University of Gloucetrshire, UK
