Jianping Shen: School Renewal in the Bifurcated Educational System, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book offers compelling arguments for moving toward the school renewal model (rather than the school reform model) based on strong empirical evidence and real-world renewal work in schools. Drawing on national and project data alongside rigorous analysis, it highlights structural and leadership barriers that have hindered reform over the past twenty-five years and offers essential constructs and tools to bridge the divide in the educational system, including the bifurcation theory, the win-win leadership theory, implementation fidelity, integrated school leadership, and leadership density. With validated instruments and actionable frameworks, this work equips researchers and practitioners with innovative methods to drive school improvement. Policymakers will also find guidance on creating enabling conditions for sustainable progress, focusing on responsive, capacity-building approaches rooted in the complexities of modern education.
