Opis

How have the effectiveness and school improvement movements arrived where they are today? Since the 1960s, when debates arose regarding equality of opportunity, to the 1980s when market concepts came into play, there has been a great deal of development. This book seeks to contrast current thinking on educational standards with prevailing thought from prior decades, and tackles questions of equality and educational outcomes. It should be of interest to those wishing their understanding of school effectiveness.
