The intelligent school - Barbara MacGilchrist

`This is a particularly well-written book, soundly based on effective school practice. It serves well its intention of helping schools become intelligent organizations.... This thoughtful analysis requires serious consideration' - School Leadership & Management

`The capacities addressed in The Intelligent School are crucial if the high expectations that governments are setting for schools are to be realised.... [It is] remarkable how the authors have packed so much information into such a concise book, all in an authoritative and usable manner' - Brian Caldwell, University of Melbourne

In writing The Intelligent School, the authors offer a practical resource to schools to help them maximise their improvement efforts.The aim is to help schools to be intelligent organizations; to be the type of school that can synthesise different kinds of knowledge, experience and ideas in order to be confident about current achievements, and be able to decide what to do next.
