'Peter Earley and Vivienne Porritt have the eyes to see and the skills to describe vividly and compellingly outstanding Continuing Professional Development (CPD) practice. In doing so, they increase the likelihood of ensuring that schools get the best out of staff and that staff get the best out of school. Here they assemble and describe ideas that every school will find invaluable: a 'must have' for the school library.' - Professor Tim Brighouse, former Chief Adviser for London Schools and previously Chief Education Officer for Birmingham and Oxfordshire This book presents case studies of schools’ journeys towards effective CPD practice, telling the story of the goals set and achieved, and the challenges and successes along the way. • Nov 2009 • PB • ISBN 978-0-85473-883-0 • 168pp • £19.99 / $32.95
