About the authors
Linda Kaser and Judy Halbert lead the Transformative
Educational Leadership Program at the University of British
Columbia (telp.educ.ubc.ca); the Networks of Inquiry and
Innovation (noii.ca); and the Aboriginal Enhancement
Schools Network (noii.ca/aesn).
In addition to working with leadership groups in BC and the
Yukon, they collaborate with educators in Wales, Australia,
New Zealand and England. They are deeply committed
to achieving equity and quality for all learners—and to
networking for innovation and improvement both in Canada
and abroad. To that end, they are Canadian representatives
to the OECD international research program on Innovative
Learning Environments.
