The Intelligent School by Barbara Macgilchrist

The new insights in The Intelligent School are a testament to the extraordinary proficiency of these three authors. As the waiter in the restaurant says when serving the meal 'Enjoy' - Tim Brighouse, Times Educational SupplementIn writing The Intelligent School, Second Edition, the authors offer a practical resource to schools to help them maximise their improvement efforts. The aim is to help schools to be intelligent organizations; to be the type of school that can synthesise different kinds of knowledge, experience and ideas in order to be confident about current achievements; and to be able to decide what to do next.

′The book is easy-to-use: clear, well organised, full of practical examples and equally practical questionsIt could be a signpost to the future - if the days of educational diktat are really almost over.′ - The Times Educational Supplement

`This is a particularly well-written book, soundly based on effective school practice. It serves well its intention of helping schools become intelligent organisations.... This thoughtful analysis requires serious consideration′ - School Leadership & Management

′The capacities addressed in The Intelligent School are crucial if the high expectations that governments are setting for schools are to be realised.... [It is] remarkable how the authors have packed so much information into such a concise book, all in an authoritative and usable manner′ - Brian Caldwell, University of Melbourne

`There is a lot to be learned from this book... An intelligent book, it should be read with a critical intelligence. It will repay reading′ - Teacher Development
