Abstract
The chapter offers an overview of key insights emerging from the five case studies. We return to our central findings and invite readers to review them in the light of their own context and through the lens of school leader, teacher, and researcher. The chapter concludes with comments from both authors, tracing their starting point with each school and their insights at the end of the research process, as they look towards the future.
