- Focuses on enabling teacher agency as the foundation for improvement
- Emphasises the importance of human agency to influence environments, lives and learning

This raises necessary and challenging questions about purposes and processes in education. With practical ideas and strategies that can be used to inform and evaluate practice and policy, Teacher Agency, Professional Development and School Improvement is essential reading for headteachers and teachers wishing to lead changes to improve their school and for teacher educators who support them.
