Hardback. Condizione: New. An inside look at the promise and pitfalls of continuous improvement and design in education-showing why reform sometimes succeeds, sometimes fails, and what leaders can do about it.While the headlines have been consumed by No Child Left Behind, Common Core, charter schools, and battles over DEI, a group of practitioners have been trying to develop a new set of approaches to taking on the perennial problems of schooling. And rather than betting on a new program or a new policy, these reformers have bet instead on a different way of working that they hope will yield much better results. By teaching educators across the nation and the world how to examine data, build systems, and organize for improvement, they are aiming to make existing systems more problem-focused, disciplined, and imaginative. Thousands of schools and districts have taken up these methods, including many of the largest school districts in the country.In A Chance to Solve Their Own Problems, a team of Harvard researchers investigates how these methods work in action. Drawing on hundreds of interviews as well as in-depth case studies, they offer a definitive account of why these methods succeed in some contexts and falter in others, illuminating the crucial roles of relationships, equity commitments, organizational context, and politics. The book reveals that the most successful applications are less about rigid adherence to a process and more about a human-centered approach that prioritizes trust, relationships, and a culture of learning.By blending clear-eyed critique with a constructive vision, A Chance to Solve Their Own Problems invites scholars, leaders, and practitioners to rethink how improvement work is organized, supported, and sustained. It is both a cautionary tale and a guide for those committed to making lasting progress in the complex human systems we call schools.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Every generation faces challenges, but never before have young people been so aware of theirs. Whether due to school strikes for climate change, civil war, or pandemic lockdowns, almost every child in the world has experienced the interruption of their schooling by outside forces. When the world we have taken for granted proves so unstable, it gives rise to the question: what is schooling for? Thrive advocates a new purpose for education, in a rapidly changing world, and analyses the reasons why change is urgently needed in our education systems. The book identifies four levels of thriving: global - our place in the planet; societal - localities, communities, economies; interpersonal - our relationships; intrapersonal - the self. Chapters provide research-based theoretical evidence for each area, followed by practical international case studies showing how individual schools are addressing these considerable challenges. Humanity's challenges are shifting fast: schools need to be a part of the response.…
