FOREWORD:
'Good to Great to Innovate' focuses on more than classroom strategies, it clearly states the need for collaboration between whole systems and instructional leadership. Overtime the system has tried to link system goals to classroom practice by clearly stating system intent and linking it to school based professional development. As practitioners we are often challenged with trying to make links between classroom practices and reforms that are enforced upon us but end up being the "wrong drivers for whole-system reform". It will be of great interest to extend and clarify what Lyn Sharrat and Gale Harild recommend so we can continue to develop our understanding of how to use evidence based data so to move from 'good to great to innovate' in our school.
