Dr Kulvarn Atwal has spent his entire career teaching and leading in East London schools, and is currently Executive Headteacher of two large primary schools. Kulvarn specialises in teacher professional learning. His doctoral thesis highlighted the factors that impact upon teacher engagement in professional learning activities, with a particular focus on action research. His research draws on theories of workplace learning to provide a practical model for schools. The model is designed to develop teacher learning activities that impact directly on pupil outcomes, and has been used to shape leadership practice across the UK and Europe.
"This is a must-read for all teachers, leaders and educators. Schools that think are schools that learn." ―Prof. Sonia Blandford
