The Restless School
Description:... What is the cocktail of successful schools and their leaders? They
are restless. There is a paradox at their core: they are very secure in
their systems, values and successes, yet simultaneously seeking to
change and improve. These schools look inwards to secure wise
development; they look outwards to seize innovation which they can hew
to their own ends and, importantly, make a difference to the children
and students they serve.
This book is written with the certainty that whatever the quality of
an education system and its schools at a given point in time, we shall
strive to improve them, in the knowledge that perfection lies just
around the corner. That is the human condition. That is the
international imperative. That is the restless school.
