Using the Past To Plan the Future: Making Sense of Almost Four Decades of Research.

Gray, John

School Effectiveness and School Improvement, v12 n2 p259-63 Jun 2001

"The International Handbook of School Effectiveness Research" (2000) by C. Teddlie and D. Reynolds is a searching, authoritative assessment of the SER field. However, the field should acknowledge its failures and lose its "schools make a difference" mantra. The "next wave" must grapple directly with implementing and sustaining change in unpromising contexts. (MLH)
