内容説明

Education systems are currently under challenge to teach new skills and competencies to all their students, and to function under increasing financial constraints. The effectiveness of schools to meet these challenges is being questioned by politicians, business leaders and academics worldwide; school effectiveness has become one of the important themes of world education. This work begins with a review of the international research in school effectiveness, exploring how the term "school effectiveness" is defined and used, how effective schools have been identified and how effectiveness is achieved. This, together with the author's own research data collected in the UK, the US, Canada and Australia, is used to develop a broader perspective of school effectiveness which includes the need for local communities to be mobilized for school development. The text also provides a model for school improvement to this end, building on the school effectiveness literature and community education principles and processes.

内容説明

This book offers a new perspective on the management of schools by bringing together the knowledge and understanding of school effectiveness and community education. Tony Townsend argues that the core activity of the school, to provide a learning environment for children, should be supplemented by educational activities that service the needs of the community as a whole. He offers a model for the development of the `core-plus' school, including practical ideas for school leaders to build strategies for improving school programme possiblities and processes to encourage greater community involvement.
