“…[Ipswich High School] Teachers demonstrate a marked degree of professional respect for each other, for the administration and for the wider school community including the students. It seems important to state that only schools with a cohesive and committed faculty are likely to be successful in adopting the Ipswich culture and to reinforce that it should serve as a model only to those high schools that are demographically similar.” “…Teachers are excited about the difference these initiatives have made to their success and to the quality of their professional lives. They are keen to share with others their experience of implementing and sustaining the new student centered culture…”
