The need for active professional engagement in educational change has been a constant issue in the school improvement literature for many decades. The articles in this issue provide an enriched understanding of this question, through research developed in different parts of the world, different school systems, a variety of curriculum areas, and for different groups of students. It raises issues such as the conditions for successful distributed leadership, the balance between cognitive and emotional aspects of organisations and relationships, engagement in policy making, coherent environments for curriculum development, partnerships with academic researchers, and the role of other professionals such as social workers.
