This practical guide is designed to support school leaders in meeting their improvement challenge in ways that can be contextualised to their circumstances. It contains tools, activities, and pro formas that have been used successfully in a range of schools. These can be adapted to suit a particular context. While there are many books focused on school improvement, this book is a practical gem. It advocates that a school first diagnose where it is at, rather than adopt a 'one size fits all' strategy. The self-assessments, tools, processes, and case studies provided here will enable a school to craft its own improvement approach. [Subject: Education, Educational Policy]

Driving Lessons for Life is a collection of short and inspiring stories about change, self-improvement, leadership, and becoming a better person. It is about strengthening individuals, marriages, families, the workplace, and all of our relationships. Author Jim R. Jacobs takes the common experiences of car drivers and applies them to our daily lives, asking readers to rev up their hearts and minds to achieve a smoother ride, whether you're already sailing along with your cruise control on or maneuvering life's potholes. Filled with car metaphors, hot rod memories, deep insights, and rear-view mirror humor, this book will teach you what your driving instructor never did, from what not to do in the car wash to the history behind giving someone the bird. Best of all, the car metaphors will make you recall the lessons in these pages every time you get in a vehicle and drive down the road.
