What is school reform? What makes it sustainable? Who needs to be
involved? How is scaling up achieved? This book is about the need
for educational reforms that have built into them, from the outset,
those elements that will see them sustained in the original sites
and spread to others. Using New Zealand's Te Kotahitanga Project as
a model the authors branch out from the project itself to seek to
uncover how an educational reform can become both extendable and
sustainable. Their model can be applied to a variety of levels
within education: classroom, school and system wide. It has seven
elements that should be present in the reform initiative from the
outset. These elements include establishing goals and a vision for
reducing disparities; embedding a new pedagogy to depth in order to
change the core of educational practice; developing new
institutions and organisational structures to support in-class
initiatives; developing leadership that is responsive, proactive
and distributed; spreading the reform to include all teachers,
parents, community members and external agencies; developing and
using appropriate measures of performance as evidence for modifying
core classroom and school practices; creating opportunities for all
involved to take ownership of the reform in such a way that the
original objectives of the reform are protected and sustained.
