The Systemic School Improvement Model developed by JET to address an identified range of interconnected challenges at district, school, classroom and household level, is made up of seven components. In reflecting on what worked and what did not in the implementation of these different components, the different chapters set out some of the practical lessons learnt, which could be used to improve the design and implementation of similar education improvement projects. Many of the lessons in this field that remain under-recorded to date relate to the step-by-step processes followed, the relationship dynamics encountered at different levels of the education system, and the local realities confronting schools and districts in South Africa's rural areas. Drawing on field data that is often not available to researchers, the book endeavours to address this gap and record these lessons. It is not intended to provide an academic review of the systemic school improvement projects. It is presented rather to offer other development practitioners working to improve the quality of education in South African schools, an understanding of some of the real practical and logistical challenges that arise and how these may be resolved to take further school improvement projects forward at a wider district, provincial and national scale. 606 $aSchool management and organization$zSouth Africa 606 $aEducational change$zSouth Africa 606 $aTeachers$xTraining of$zSouth Africa 606 $aSchool improvement programs$zSouth Africa 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSchool management and organization 615 0$aEducational change 615 0$aTeachers$xTraining of 615 0$aSchool improvement programs 676 $a371.2/070968 702 $aKhosa$b Godwin 712 02$aJET Education Services (South Africa), 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524899603321 996 $aSystemic School Improvement Interventions in South Africa$92627755 997 $aUNINA
