Raising the Stakes provides an understanding of the breadth of
resources that are needed in order to provide a quality education
to all students so that every individual, organisation and
institution can become a stakeholder in the enterprise. This
comprehensive book draws on best practice in several countries to
show how resources can be allocated to help achieve high
expectations for all schools. The book demonstrates how schools can
move from satisfaction with improvement to accepting the challenge
to transform, identifying and exploring the need to align four
kinds of resources: intellectual capital, that is, the knowledge
and skill of talented professionals social capital, being support
in the form of cash, expertise and advocacy drawn from a range of
individuals, organisations, agencies and institutions in the
broader community financial capital, which must be carefully
targeted to ensure that these resources are aligned and focused on
priorities for learning; and finally spiritual capital, which can
be viewed in a religious sense or in terms of the culture and
values that bring coherence and unity to these endeavours. The
authors also outline a Student-Focused Planning Model with
particular attention to the deployment of resources to support each
student and embracing the notion of personalising learning.
Practitioners and researchers reading this book will be inspired to
work more closely in networking knowledge about how 'high quality'
and 'high equity' can be achieved. Raising the Stakes is essential
reading for those with the responsibility of ensuring that
resources are acquired and allocated to achieve the best possible
outcomes for students.
