The time has come to challenge many of the age-old assumptions
about schools and school learning. In this timely book leading
thinkers from around the world offer a different vision of what
schools are for. They suggest new ways of thinking about
citizenship, lifelong learning and the role of schools in
democratic societies. They question many of the tenets of school
effectiveness studies which have been so influential in shaping
policy, but are essentially backward looking and premised on school
structures as we have known them. Each chapter confronts some of
the myths of schooling we have cherished for too long and asks us
to think again and to do schools differently. Chapters include: *
Democratic learning and school effectiveness * Learning democracy
in an age of mangerial accountability * Democratic leadership for
school improvement in challenging contexts. This book will be of
particular interest to anyone involved in school improvement and
effectiveness, including academics and researchers in this field of
study. Headteachers and LEA advisers will also find this book a
useful resource.
