This book gets to the heart of working together to build the confidence that teachers and school leaders can change the learning lives of all learners, that they then do change their learning lives, and that they collaborate in this endeavour.

This book is a must read and a wonderful guide!" -- Ann Lieberman, Senior Scholar Published On: 2016-01-14 "By focusing on the importance of teachers as drivers for school improvement, Donohoo and Velasco highlight an important element that is often overlooked in this crucial learning process.
