From three of Australia's leading teaching and teacher education researchers comes a book about creating the outstanding school. Lynch, Madden and Doe provide an easy to read text that is all about ensuring every student gets a quality education. Each chapter explains, in easy to read terms, a set of ideas and research-based strategies that schools and their teachers can employ to reform their school. The book identifies for the reader and then explains the key research-based elements that lie at the heart of creating the outstanding school. The book features the Collaborative Teacher Learning Model and the elements of 'teaching,' 'leadership', 'coaching', 'mentoring', 'feedback', 'data driven decision-making', 'high impact instruction' and the idea of 'teachers as researchers' as the embodiment of a school-based strategy for creating the outstanding school. This book is compulsive reading for teachers and school leaders and those who care about our children's education future.

In 2005 Tina Doe set out to change the way teachers learn. She has pioneered what is today known as the Teacher Professional Learning Initiative: an exciting and meaningful way through which teachers collaborate to learn. In this book Tina Doe tells the story of how schools and teachers are coming under increasing pressure to meet the new expectations that a fast changing technologically based and global world is demanding. She argues teachers have to now meet the learning needs of all students, not just those who can "do schooling". But, as Doe outlines, the teacher education literature and anecdotes from teachers and education systems across Australia (and elsewhere) about teacher professional learning suggests there must be a better way. This book is a case study of one such approach to teacher professional learning that works.
