The result of a wide-ranging international research study on school development, this text starts with a historical review of school reform. It includes a complete history of school improvement in Europe and the US. The author then offers a complete overview of the theoretical basis for school improvement, questioning assumptions about the nature of educational institutions. The study focuses in particular on the role of the head or principal in school improvement, and seeks to provide up-to-date treatment of one of the major issues in world education.
