Reimagining Schools and School Systems by Brian J. Caldwell Author

Reimagining Schools and School Systems

This is the first book that deals with the reimagination of schools and school systems in international settings. Reimagination should lead to transformation, defined as significant, systematic and sustained change that secures, or has the evidence-based potential to secure, success for all students in all settings through integrated and aligned action in the major domains of school education. 

“Brian Caldwell is a giant among those who have been at the forefront of educational thinking and reform over a sustained period of time. He has forged a highly credible, cutting-edge, international reputation for his ability to translate innovative thinking and theory into grounded practice that actually makes a difference.

I share Brian’s view that now is the time for urgency … to temper the politicisation of education … to align our aspirations and goals so that we can put in place long-term strategic initiatives that will galvanise all citizens to provide the world’s best education system.”
