David JacksonMelbourne, 2003
Sustainable School Improvement Building a System-wide Vision
“Good ideas come from people with talent working collaboratively
together…..”
Learning Together
“It is one of life’s great ironies: schools are in the business of teaching and learning, yet they are terrible at learning from each other.
If they ever discover how to do this, their future is assured.”
Michael Fullan, “Leading in a Culture of Change”
“If we want to develop young people who are participating members of
society, we must model that by being collaborating members of the
educational community”
