Reflections on Ten Years of HPL in Schools

In 2016 when the first edition of this book was published, I thought that once we had some leading schools using High Performance Learning and exemplifying the approach, it would be possible to leverage these schools to be a model and a resource for the system and profession. The concept would take off and start to change the education landscape. To some extent this has occurred and in other ways it has not. In reflecting on why, I think I underestimated a number of factors. This chapter considers what we have learnt over the past ten years. What has worked well and what have been the challenges of bringing this new thinking to the education world. It also considers next steps for High Performance Learning.
