School Improvement and the Local Authority - Research PapersADCS April 2012: The Missing Link: the evolving role of the local authority in school improvement:
National College: Creating a Self-improving School SystemProfessor David H Hargreaves has written a thinkpiece for the National College, 'Creating a self-improving school system'. As education professionals are increasingly trusted to drive their own improvement, the thinkpiece explores the implications of this and seeks to define the key features of a successful self-improving system as well as the steps needed to shape it. Professor Hargreaves says that higher calibre school leadership and an increase in the number of partnerships between schools presents an opportunity for a new vision of school improvement. The College's local solutions approach to succession planning – with activity taking place across networks of schools in the local authority or dioceses – is identified as being responsive to local circumstances while our school leadership provision is making leadership development a largely self-generating enterprise, grounded in networks of schools.
