Summary:In this article the author accounts for the process of change he led in his workplace during his participation in the HertsCam MEd in Leading Teaching and Learning. The narrative presents the key stages in this process from first identifying a professional concern to the development of a sustainable model which has been adopted school-wide. The discussion focuses not only on the formation of an approach to supporting students' resilience, but also addresses the challenges of leading development work and how these were resolved. The author, Ben Garcia, reveals how the collaborative process increased organisational capacity and led to contextually relevant knowledge creation.
