Leaders faced with trying to sort out these issues find that they are not always clear-cut. Often there are no easy resolutions and the consequences may be potentially explosive for the individuals concerned, for the school, and for the community.</p>

Many have no idea what a dissertation looks like, how it gets that way, or what options are available to them.This book is a practical guide for students who need help in progressing from the decision to write a dissertation to the planning, writing and defending of it. It includes samples of proposals and dissertations that have been accepted and data drawn from a number of sources, including focus groups with doctoral students and graduates and responses to an open-ended questionnaire from doctoral students across the United States.

This book presents a comprehensive account of the development and nature of CDT in primary school classrooms, from modest beginnings in the early 1980s to detailed implementation within the National Curriculum. It shows how the design/problem-solving process and the knowledge, skills and understanding associated with CDT can be developed by teachers who were previously unfamiliar with such activities. Case studies by teachers of problem-solving activities within their classrooms discuss the teaching strategies employed and illustrate how pupils respond to CDT in complex ways.
