Book Description
As countries seek to develop their education systems, achieving sustainable improvements amongst students from disadvantaged backgrounds remains a major challenge. This has considerable implications for those in the research community as they seek to influence developments in the field.

Exploring three large-scale national reform programmes, the book: Presents a series of propositions that are the basis of a research-based approach to system change Explains the creation of relationships in which academic researchers collaborate in the process of development Considers smaller place-based projects that are set within policy contexts dominated by the idea of market forces as a strategy for improvement Explores the steps needed to overcome locally specific barriers Changing Education Systems is a must-read for policy-makers and practitioners involved in educational reforms, as well as researchers wishing to contribute to and learn from such developments.

Book Description
Make change humanly possible Today’s schools know they must make problem solving, collaboration, self-directed learning and creativity an integral part of the school’s DNA, but they don’t always know how. When we ask schools to change, we are asking human beings to change. This requires special tools and a human-centered approach. In The Human Side of Changing Education, leaders will learn to make sense of their challenging change journeys and accelerate effective implementation. With this practical framework that includes human-centered tools, resources and mini case studies, readers will learn to navigate and succeed on their unique path of change. Understand why resistance is to be expected and how to get through it. Discover three different kinds of change strategies and when to use which one Learn how to use the "messy middle" of change, where real transformation happens Change the heart of the system by enabling the hearts and minds of those who make schools work. "Julie Wilson is both a visionary and a pragmatist. Her book is a wonderfully clear and concise guide for leaders who seek to navigate the road to educational transformation."

Book Description
Placing the UK in a global context, this book engages with the emerging international debate on the future of education in the 21st century. It examines the post-pandemic paradigm shift in educational practice in countries around the world and presents international case studies of emerging future practice. However, while it embraces the global context and the mega-forces therein, it is specifically focused on the challenges for education in England today and the potential strategies for moving forward to the all-inclusive, personalised, smarter and lifelong learning needed for tomorrow. In doing so, it explores how the new curriculum models, new approaches to pedagogy and new educational technology, such as AI and even robotics, might help to transform education in England, help “level-up” learning and help younger generations cope not only with the future as we know it but also the future that we don’t. This book will appeal to policymakers, students and scholars interested in the sociology of education, education policy, international education, international development and future studies, as well as those with a general interest in Education in the future.

Book Description
Interventions in Education Systems draws on research conducted in England, Mexico, Singapore and Finland to illuminate reform processes to education systems in a range of contexts, to develop a better understanding of intervention processes and to promote the development of more sophisticated models for reforming education systems. The authors compare policy implementations and interventions in countries with different socio-economic profiles and different levels of development, highlighting how these processes in practice all too frequently are side-tracked and distorted, often unintentionally, by political, economic and social forces.
