Industry Reviews
"In this optimistic and fine-grained study of learning to change,Andy Hargreaves and Lorna Earl graphically illustrate, with adegree of clarity rarely previously achieved, how the professionalwork of teachers mediates the translation of the new educationalorthodoxy into sustained and enhanced levels of student learning."(David Hopkins, Professor and Dean of Education, University ofNottingham, UK)
"At last we have a book that get beneath the slogans of reform! Ina compelling highly readable book the reader learns what supportsand hinders teachers' struggle to create higher standards for theirstudents. The authors go way beyond the technical and intellectualwork of teaching recognizing the highly emotional cultural aspectsof change. But this is no mere academic treatise, but rather a callto intelligent and informed action." (Ann Lieberman, visitingprofessor at Stanford University and senior scholar, The CarnegieFoundation for the Advancement of Teaching)
"Hargreaves and his colleagues have crafted a book that describesthe harsh reality of change efforts at the level where truedifferences are made: the school and classroom levels. But moreimportantly, they outline the intellectual and emotional work thatmust be done for these efforts to succeed. Showing that there is nosubstitute for clear thinking, careful planning, and hard work,they demonstrate what is needed for deep and abiding change inschools." (Thomas R. Guskey, professor of Educational PolicyStudies and Evaluation, University of Kentucky)
"Many teachers will read (this book) and feel vindicated, or atleast relieved, that someone has finally confirmed what they havebeen saying about education reforms." (Professionally SpeakingMagazine, 6/01)
"This book will interest those concerned with examining the processof change at the classroom level.... Hargreaves and his colleaguesargue persuasively for placing the practical, emotional, andintellectual needs of teachers front and center the school reformefforts." (American School Board Journal, 8/01)
