Drawing on philosophical work, including that of Derrida, Foucault and Heidegger, the authors deconstruct the ethic of improvement before exploring key dimensions of education, its institutions and technologies. Each chapter draws on international case studies, provides engaging questions and makes suggestions for further reading to support the reader. Topics covered include: - The Ethic of Improvement ; - Teacher Education ; - Leadership and Management ; - Lifelong Learning ; - The Rhetoric of Numbers ; - The Governance of Childhood ; - The State of Education Research. An essential text for all looking at how we think and talk about education and improvement."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy 606 $aEducational change 606 $aSchool improvement programs 606 $2Teaching of a specific subject 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEducational change. 615 0$aSchool improvement programs. 676 $a371.2/07 700 $aFlint$b Kevin J.$0855997 702 $aPeim$b Nick$f1952- 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463362803321 996 $aRethinking the education improvement agenda$91911108 997 $aUNINA
