Professional Capital: Transforming Teaching in Every School. Andy Hargreaves and Michael Fullan

This is an excellent text for those interested in systemic change that puts teachers and teaching at the forefront of the change process. The book explores what if means to “teach like a pro” and how to strengthen the ‘human capital’, ‘social capital’ and ‘decisional capital’ of teachers within the education system. It supports mentorship as the building of collaborative cultures and provides models of these cultures drawn from the consultative work of the authors across the globe.
