Description
Success Against the Odds explores how schools in disadvantaged areas can overcome difficult circumstances to achieve success. This book is based on research by the National Commission on Education, which identified key features of effective schools in challenging environments.
The study involved teams visiting a range of successful schools, including primary, secondary and special schools, from different local authorities and regions. These schools have proven experience of overcoming difficult circumstances, and their approaches to teaching, learning and school management are examined in detail.
