Improving Urban Schools: Leadership and Collaboration by Mel Ainscow
This book addresses the question of how primary and secondary urban schools can be improved in a more inclusive way. It argues that urban schools and their communities have within them expertise that tends to be overlooked, and latent creativity that should be mobilised to move thinking and progress forward.
Mel Ainscow is Professor of Education at the University of Manchester, where he is also co-director of the Centre for Equity in Education. His research addresses links between school improvement, teacher development and inclusion, and sets out to make direct contributions to thinking and practice in the field. Mel West is Dean of the School of Education at the University of Manchester. His research interests span school leadership and school improvement, and he has been involved in a number of projects that have explored the leadership of schools facing challenging circumstances.
