The A-Z of School Improvement

The A - Z of School Improvement is an authoritative ''can-do'' guide to all aspects of improving schools, organised around the 26 letters of the English alphabet.


School improvement is about getting every detail right. The serious school leader pays attention to every aspect of school life and focuses on improving it and aiming for excellence.


One of the marks of the successful school leader is a forensic attention to detail. They will look closely and carefully at every aspect of a particular issue, analyse data, and only agree on interpretations after much consideration. While much of a school leader''s work is relational, motivational, and relentless, bringing a forensic mindset to bear ensures that actions towards improvement are focused and thoughtful.
