内容説明

"Improved teaching and learning is at the heart of coherent education policy. The reforms discussed in this book aim at that goal through the establishment of ambitious goals, the alignment of policies so that teachers and schools receive consistent pressure and support for enhanced instruction, the provision of sufficient flexibility to schools to meet the goals and the incorporation of extensive professional development. Applying the concept also involves enlisting the participation and support of parents, higher education and employers who provide incentives to students." Much of the failure of recent policy efforts to improve education can be attributed to inconsistency, lack of unified purpose and an emphasis on low-level skills. This new book offers a look at systemic school reform and it shows educators at all levels how to coordinate the various elements of policy infrastructure around a new set of ambitious, common goals for what students should know and be able to do.
