Abstract
This book focuses on knowledge creation work in education, which is built on the central premise that in this Knowledge Age, schools should function as a knowledge creation organization, where knowledge work pervades all levels in schools. It means that schools should focus on developing student’s capacity and disposition in knowledge creation work and, at the same time, leaders and teachers alike should continue to develop their professional knowledge as a community.
