Classroom Teacher, TAS

“This book is confronting in the best way. It does not cast principals as villains, but it also doesn’t let us off the hook. It names system failures honestly and challenges leaders to act with courage where we can.”

School Principal, NSW

“Not One More Teacher Lost offers one of the clearest explanations of the gap between system intent and classroom impact I have read. It is challenging, fair, and deeply grounded in evidence.”
