Profound improvement

"Profound Improvement focuses on the life world of school people as it relates to professional learning and growth. It is concerned with human growth and development, human cognition and affect, and human interactions and actions in the context of a school community. It places at the centre of the discourse some of the less controllable aspects of professional development - the undercurrents of professional presuppositions and beliefs as well as the surface waves of professional knowledge and learning. From the perspective, building a learning community is a dynamic process that engages the individual, the group, and the organisation in embedded interdependencies and mutual influences."--Jacket.
