Synopsis

"Reforming Schools" will transform the study of school reform, development and improvement. It not only provides an overview of research findings, professional and political issues and policy developments and their history; it also relates such thinking to practice through a rich and multi-faceted case study of school reform. Particular emphasis is given to urban schooling, with a candid look at what can be learnt not only from successful school reforms but also from failure.

The authors provide questions and exercises throughout to help readers interact with case-study material.

"Reforming Schools" enables the readers to experience what it is like to work in the field in a way that no other book on school reform does.
