Summary

Schools are expected and challenged to achieve student outcomes commensurate with the abilities of all students, but few are capable of this. This book demonstrates that present school structures and processes need to be redesigned and suggests ways of enhancing student outcomes by integrating the many facets of school life, including curriculum, school structures and resources.
