This book has developed from research into initiatives for school improvement in a range of secondary schools. It considers the views of students as a starting point and then charts action being undertaken to enhance the environment of classroom and school:

* to consider learning styles and the use of teaching strategies to meet these
* to analyse the nature of successful staff student relationships
* to help students to see the rationale for and importance of integration in the curriculum
* to chronicle endeavours being made to achieve gender equality.
The book concludes with consideration of the relationship between culture and achievement. Each chapter offers a blend of research data, real cases for discussion, contemporary literary comment and action points. Reference is also made to lines of further investigation using internet sources.
