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.

Reviews for The Thinking School: Developing a dynamic learning community

Kulvarn Atwal has produced a book that makes compelling reading. Schools are places of learning. Learning is about thinking. In 'The Thinking School', Atwal presents how research and practice are better together, improving teaching and learning. This is a must read for all teachers, leaders and educators, providing a framework for reflection and practice. In essence, schools that think are schools that learn. -- Professor Sonia Blandford, CEO Achievement for All, Visiting Professor UCL
