Each chapter showcases a school-based example of transformation. Assessment, pedagogy, curriculum, leadership, values and learning are explored before considering the key principles required across schools to make transformation a reality. Bringing together examples from around the world, the contributing authors give relatable insights into the mechanics, approaches and principles that drive authentic and sustainable transformation of all sizes. These chapters include teacher voice, student voice, embedded cases, emerging themes, resonances and reflections and ways forward.

Reviews
A timely must-read for educators and policy-makers ready to disrupt the taken-for-grantedness of current school practices. Jefferson and Anderson carefully weave together nine rich and diverse case studies that illustrate that, while there is no recipe to enact school transformation, persistent and courageous leadership enables new possibilities through collaboration, connection, communication and critical reflection. Authentic, hopeful, practical, powerful. -- Robyn Ewing AM, Professor Emerita of Teacher Education and the Arts, University of Sydney, Australia
How Schools Transform is a wake-up call for school leaders and all who work in them to make explicit the organisational routines and habits which can either stultify or enrich schools. Full of powerful stories this is a wonderful compendium of creative ideas which will help educators to cultivate the kinds of dispositions which will help young people to thrive. -- Bill Lucas, Professor of Learning, University of Winchester, UK and Chair of the Global Insitute of Creative Thinking Advisory Board
