This book explores an approach to school improvement that merges
the traditions of educational effectiveness research and school
improvement efforts. It displays how the dynamic model, which is
theoretical and empirically validated, can be used in both
traditions. Each chapter integrates evidence from international and
national studies, showing how the knowledge-base of educational
effectiveness research can be used for improvement purposes. In a
clear and practicable manner it outlines: Foundations of the
improvement approach Research projects investigating the impact of
the dynamic approach Guidelines and practical solutions to
translating the approach into action Further developments for
school improvement Exploring the crucial factors in the
establishment of this environment, the authors outline a dynamic
framework that helps schools collect data, through self-evaluation
mechanisms, taking decisions about priorities for improvement, and
developing appropriate policies and action plans. This approach
emphasises educational targets and provides means to achieve them
that are flexible enough to fit in with the circumstances of the
individual school. The book draws upon research across the world,
conducted especially in the United States, Europe, and Australasia,
expertly showcasing how the dynamic approach can be used in a wide
variety of educational settings A key book for all professionals
working in education; academics, researchers, policy-makers, school
advisors and practitioners will find it invaluable. Not only it is
a must for graduate students, university libraries, and individual
academics but also for school management teams, school support
agencies and officials in educational policy.
