Reviews for Effective Change in Schools

'... would be a useful addition to the shelves of many educational managers. It could be particularly helpful for NPQH candidates, newly-appointed heads, and current school leaders who know that they must initiate major change projects. I wish I had read it before I took up headship!' - Janet A. Harvey, School Leadership and Management
