Improving Schools is for all those engaged in school development, whether improving schools in difficulty or making successful schools even better. The journal includes contributions from across the world with an increasingly international readership including teachers, heads, academics, education authority staff, inspectors and consultants.
Improving Schools has created a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences. Major national policies and initiatives have been evaluated, to share good practice and to highlight problems. The journal also reports on visits to successful schools in diverse contexts, and includes book reviews on a wide range of developmental issues. We take a broad view of school improvement, maintaining focus on educational aims as well as development processes. We cover not only management, leadership and school ethos, but also learning and teaching and curricular issues of whole-school importance. We also seek to foster a strong values orientation, based on principles of social justice and responsibility.
