These practical tools have been developed by practitioners through NCSL’s Leading Edge series and, in particular, through seminars which took place in 2001–02. Over 60 school leaders contributed to the exploration of good practice and development of practical workshop materials for learning-centred leaders. So, what you read here reflects the views and values of these leaders in ways which, we hope, will bring a degree of challenge to thinking.
