I think this book would be widely welcomed in English speaking countries and probably elsewhere. It would be of considerable interest to headteachers and teachers generally and would add to the thinking about personalised education. We tend to have a limited view of the leadership abilities children and young people can develop and there is much to be said for expanding our thinking on this subject. It would also be of interest to the student market and to teacher trainers.I think this is a very promising proposal and I would certainly recommend that you publish this book. I look forward to reading it! Joan DeanI the book should be published, if its main drive and energy is in offering guidance to educators in an experiential way, and if it takes forward what is already being achieved in this area.
