Reviews

Andrew Oberthur has done it again. He has taken on one of the world's most complex and challenging human dynamics: how do we manage the relationships of teachers, parents and primary school students to produce a significant improvement in our educational outcomes?"" - Allan Parker, behavioural scientist and international negotiator

""This book puts all the everyday decisions of a school leader into a real and raw perspective we can all relate to. I wish I had the book when I first became a principal."" - Gabrielle Hansen, Head of Department – Curriculum
