Hello William,

Thank you for submitting your article 'Challenging the status quo: How using a transformational meta-model of quality significantly impacted a school learning culture' to EJOLTS. Jack Whitehead and Bernie Tobin have agreed to reviewing your paper. I am looking forward to reading it as well!

Kind regards,

Margaret

Dear William, I have enjoyed reading your paper very much and am recommending it for publication with minor amendments. I found great value in your paper and particularly liked the way you had focused on quality in the creation of your transformational practice and living educational theory. I also liked your focus on influencing a school learning culture with the recognition of how important it was for you to recognise some of the living contradictions in your own practice with the help of your transformational meta-model of quality. I have presented many times at the American Educational Research Association and can see how significant your understandings could be to enhancing the quality of educational leadership in American schools (and not only in American Schools). I believe that your ideas have global significance.

You will see in the attached file that I have marked a number of minor amendments that need your attention. These can be seen on the right hand side of the manuscript or indicated by a black vertical line in the left hand margin.

I am also asking you to give some careful attention to your references. Please be consistent and just use the initials of the author. Please make sure that you have placed full stops at the end of each reference. I have corrected a few of the references, but you will see that the reference section needs this careful attention.

Congratulations on producing such a stimulating paper with such original and significant ideas.

Warm regards, Jack.
