Description

The Next Big Thing in School Improvement The school system is a complex and dynamic entity, subject to perpetual waves of novelty in the name of school improvement. However, in the long term, very little actually changes. This book explores why this is the case, drawing on the recent history of English education policy, disciplinary traditions, and the emerging field of complexity science. It presents a new take on why the school system behaves in ways that defy our attempts to change it. The authors, a policy analyst, a headteacher, and a classroom teacher, bring their unique perspectives to the table, explaining why the school system often resists our attempts to improve it. This book is not the Next Big Thing, but it does explain why there will inevitably be one, and what to do when it arrives. By understanding the underlying reasons for the school system's resistance to change, we can begin to find a better way to improve our schools. This book offers a fresh perspective on the challenges of school improvement, and is a valuable resource for anyone working in education.
