Developing Teachers, Developing Schools

School development and staff development are fundamentally interdependent. First published in 1994, Developing Teachers, Developing Schools presents a comprehensive examination of how In-Service Education and Training (INSET) was being utilized to enhance school performance and support individual teacher growth during the educational reforms of the early 1990s.The University of Cambridge Institute of Education had been at the forefront of this transformation, advocating the development of reflective teachers as the key to quality improvement in children's education. This book distils the experience of some of the brightest educators working within that constantly evolving environment of the 1990s. Reflecting on their work and charting the path forward for their era, they offered both enthusiasm and practical guidance to a profession that was being demoralized by the politicization of education, sustained media hostility, and the relentless pace of educational change characterizing that turbulent period.
