BOOK REVIEW – Global Stories on School Improvement: A Comparative Review of Action Research Projects
Various international organizations and agencies have played a crucial role for decades in the field of classroom research for the professional development of teachers’ pedagogical practices, thereby leading to school transformation (Calhoun, 2002; ProFuturo, 2025). Among these, the British Council (BC) has gained global recognition for its exceptional work in supporting education through its Partner Schools network. The BC’s focus has been on three pillars of modern education: leadership at all levels, effective continuing professional development (CPD), and the integration of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) into English Language Teaching (ELT) and other school subjects.
