Development Planning For School Improvement

Pressure on schools to develop has never been greater, and this series brings to the attention of teachers, heads, policy-makers and researchers the latest knowledge in the fields of school improvement and school effectiveness. Teachers are provided with practical knowledge, whilst the ideas and research are contained in the series also stimulate academic debate and contribute to policy making. Development Planning is a relatively new concept in a changing educational vocabulary. Different terms are now being used both within and between countries, and the same term does not always have a shared meaning. There is, however, something of a common core in both the origin and definition of the concept, whatever particular name is used. Development planning is a response to the need for a systematic and whole-school approach to planning and the management od multiple innovations and change.Hargreaves, David H. is the author of 'Development Planning For School Improvement ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780826479099 and ISBN 082647909X.
