Review Quotes:
"This book provides a rich set of examples to inform ways in which innovative responses can be developed through joint work that brings together diverse expertise and experiences."
Professor Carmen Montecinos, Directora, Lidrers Educativos, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Chile.
"The book offers rich, useful, and usable insights into the challenging work of building and rebuilding educational systems. Essential reading for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in educational systems and educational equity."
Professor James P. Spillane, Spencer T. & Ann W. Olin Professor of Learning & Organizational Change, Northwestern University, USA.
"The book is a testament to the education legacy of Robert Owen. Professors Chapman and Ainscow, together with their collaborators, are the "movers and shakers" of change. The authors' deep commitment to equity and desire for positive change in disadvantaged communities motivate their work, and this book is a historic milestone for the Robert Owen Centre for Educational Change."
Professor HUNG Wei Loong, Dean of Education Research, National Institute of Education, Singapore.
