A revealing look into the world's 'top performing' classrooms and what really drives educational success
Lucy Crehan is a qualified teacher, an education explorer and an
international education consultant. She taught science and
psychology at a secondary school in London for three years before
turning her sights to research and policy and gaining a distinction
in her master's in Politics, Development and Democratic Education
at the University of Cambridge.
Since returning from her groundbreaking trip around the world's
'top-performing' education systems, she has published a report on
teacher career structures for IIEP UNESCO, advised the UK
government as part of a working group on teacher workload, and
spoken about her work at conferences in the UK, the US and Sweden.
She now works as part of a team advising foreign governments on
education reform at the Education Development Trust. Lucy lives in
Bath with her fiance Mark.
"Lucy Crehan’s book is refreshingly fair-minded and makes a case
that there is a lot to learn about how other countries learn."
*Economist*
"Audacious and important . . . Cleverlands is not just for
specialists: it's a wry and accessible narrative of personal
enterprise."
*Prospect*
"Mind-expanding and topical . . . completely fascinating. As a
serving primary school governor, I read it avidly, and it made me
dream of an education system that is designed by thoughtful,
experienced and caring teachers."
*Bookseller*
"Crehan's work has the edge . . . a powerful defence of the idea
that there is a lot to learn from how other countries learn."
*Economist*
"Thought-provoking . . . a must-read"
*Sir Clive Woodward*
"A major breakthrough"
*Sir Michael Barber*
"A remarkable and original book . . . should be required
reading"
*Dylan Wiliam*
