Product reviews for Where Will I Do My Pineapples?

This is a book about wisdom and integrity: having the isdom to make judgements about what other people say, and the integrity to stick to sound educational principles. It asks what learning is all about, and comes up with some practical answers that are of interest even if you do not have the blessing (or curse) of a new school building to plan. It looks at how best to organise people and spaces within a learning community and is honest about pitfalls and partial successes. It gives great advice about how to deal with resistance from staff which will be of use to anyone in the business of trying to herd cats (or school management as it is otherwise known). It is also about creating a vision and then clinging to it no matter what happens.

I would recommend this book to anyone in school management,not just those involved in building a new school site. The nuggets of wisdom in the appendix are almost worth buying the book for on their own.
