This article is really insightful. I appreciate how it frames school improvement as problem-solving rather than a formula, highlighting that leadership, context, and collective expertise drive meaningful change. The focus on mechanisms for learning at individual, team, and organisational levels, alongside shared language for understanding, feels particularly practical. It’s a strong reminder that improvement is not about ticking boxes but about building adaptive capacity across the school.
Middle leaders are key drivers in improving teaching, setting culture, etc. To do any of this they require instruction in evidence based PD. The EEF guidance discussing mechanisms is a fantastic starting point.
