Abstract
This latest book by Dr Jake Madden continues his school improvement research by providing teachers and school and education system leaders with an insight into what school improvement requires and importantly how to implement such a program in a school in the UAE.
The thesis of Dr Madden’s work is the positioning of school leadership functions, so they sustainably orchestrate a teaching improvement strategy that embodies data-driven practice and teacher capability building with ongoing support and feedback.
In true Madden style, this book provides an easy to read account of the reasons for change and the context in which change has to occur. This informative backdrop leads to an elaboration of his improvement model and the leadership approaches required. He concludes the book with a study into the model, in a school in the United Arab Emirate: furthering his evidence-based mantra.
This book is compulsory reading for those who want to make a real difference in the education of young people.
