Internationally school effectiveness enjoys and expanding and enthusiastic audience. This book provides a critique of this research genre, particularly in the light of the recent calls for teaching to go 'back to the basics'. The editors argue that this school effectiveness research is simplistic in its analysis of educational problems. Far from getting to the bottom of the problem of failing students and schools, they argue, these 'movements' are merely scratching at the surface of the problems and coming up with notions for superficial improvements.School improvement programsGreat BritainSchool management and organizationUnited StatesSchool improvement programsSchool management and organization371.200941Slee Roger1165967Weiner Gaby166658Tomlinson Sally783889FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910954400303321School effectiveness for whom4483655UNINA
