A fresh look at school improvement from the perspective of professional development.There are many things that teachers can do to improve the conditions for learning and teaching in their own schools. This book shows how staff can take the initiative and identify areas in their school in need of attention, and tackle them. It provides case-study accounts of schemes in a number of schools, together with accounts of the action research based development work undertaken by teachers to improve their schools.

Four education researchers at the Canterbury Christ Church University College report their experience with the Canterbury Improving Schools scheme, carried out among several schools in Kent, England. They describe a model that they believe has the potential to bring about lasting change and has raised standards through the enhancement of teachers' capacity to make a difference in their own schools. In addition they offer a detailed rationale for the approach, demonstrate its benefits, and explore issues rising through the case study material. Annotation c.
