'An ideal text for challenging the thinking of those studying for
NPQH... The conclusion by the authors suggests nine major points to
consider if improvement for schools in extremely challenging
circumstances is to happen and be sustained. These 'nine lesson for
policy makers' are very frank and pertinent points, let's hope at
least some of our policy makers read them!' - ESCalate 'Rarely does
a book on education reform capture both the big and the small
picture with such brilliant clarity. MacBeath and his colleagues
furnish a 'no holds barred' account of the ins and outs of
understanding and assessing the impact of schools struggling for
success. A fascinating read' - Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus,
OISE/University of Toronto Schools serving young people on the
margins of society face a major challenge in trying to create an
environment where students can succeed. The book examines key
issues in the field of school improvement. More specifically, it
draws on evidence from the SFECC (Schools Facing Exceptionally
Challenging Circumstances) project to explore: o the policy context
of schools on the edge o the nature of extreme challenges o the way
schools have responded to extreme challenge o what seems to be
effective in helping such schools to meet the challenge o obstacles
to success and the facilities and resources that can make a
difference o strategies to meet the needs of the local community
and facilitate lasting change. Each of the authors has wide
experience of school effectiveness and improvement, and of working
with schools in disadvantaged communities in Britain, the USA and
many other parts of the world. School leaders, local authorities,
practitioners and all those involved in any aspect of school
leadership and school improvement will find this book highly
pertinent.
