Success Against The Odds - Effective Schools in Disadvantaged Areas (Paperback)

This study examines how schools in disadvantaged areas can be effective. The findings are intended to be of value to headteachers, teachers, governors in all schools, and also to parents and indeed all those who are concerned about the future of schools and children. The report of the National Commission on Education, "Learning to Succeed" , published in 1993, achieved widespread attention, acclaim and influence. This study picks up one of the key themes of its predecessor, namely how schools in disadvantaged areas can not only be particularly effective but can continue to improve. A dozen teams have undertaken to investigate a school which can be described as "succeeding against the odds". Each team includes: a leading educationalist, providing knowledge about effective teaching and learning and expertise in school improvement; someone from the business world, offering an insight into the successful management of the school as an organization, and its interaction with the world of work; and someone working in the region.
