How can one tell a "good" school from a "bad" one? How should schools be judged? And how best might they be improved? Studies of school effectiveness and school improvement have much to contribute to these questions. Drawing on the latest research, the authors of this book take a critical look at some of these reforms. They ask: how can one ensure that a broader view of what education is about is retained in the face of narrow performance indicators? What contribution can value-added approaches make to ensuring that schools in disadvantaged areas are judged more fairly? How sound are inspection procedures? What happens after a school has been inspected? How much do schools actually improve over time? And what prospects are there for turning round "failing" schools rather than simply closing them?
