This book describes the work of a number of professionals who have used action research to improve the quality of their organization and their classrooms. Underpinning all the accounts is the idea that shared values and a shared vision are central to improvement in education. The accounts show how the writers use action research methods to question traditionally held assumptions and interpretations about educational management and classroom practice. They are then able to put forward new theories and strategies which will help other educators to achieve a higher quality of education. The book provides valuable source material for all those involved in professional development, research methodology or educational management.
