I loved this book! Dr Atwal presents his central theme of the importance of professional learning and engagement at the heart of schools persuasively and in an evidence-informed manner. He describes the teacher agency that energises colleagues who feel in control of their own learning and development. The impact of this work on the overall ethos of a 'Thinking School' is clear to see. I believe that our profession would be enriched beyond measure if colleagues embraced the ideas that are explored within this book. Highly recommended!
