"London Challenge": Lessons and Inspirations of School Reform
-
摘要: "在许多城市中存在着有效课堂———‘标杆'学校, 甚至是这样一类学校的学校群———但是, 任何这样一类成功的模式如果拓展到整个区域范围就很少再有同样的样板了。"在全球教育改革运动、环太平洋成功体系以及"道德驱动改善"等教育改革之后, 伦敦开始思考并实践如何将学校改革形成规模这一富有挑战性的问题:即在国家、地区和学校三个垂直协同的框架里同时在整个地区采用一揽子的计划, 进行政策干预, 推动教育改革发展, 达到规模化改善之目的。此种方法是否可以效仿, 地区改善是否可以持续, 则需要时间去加以证实。Abstract: "Within many cities, there are effective classrooms-'beacon'schools and even clusters of such schools-but there are few if any examples of a successful model being expanded to the scope of an entire district". After education reforms such as the global education reform movement, the successful systems of the Pacific Rim and the 'moral drive for improvement', London began to consider and practice the challenging issue: to take school reform to scale, i. e. within the framework of vertical co-operation between national, municipal and local levels and combined with policy interventions for improvement of education reform and development, a set of plans has been taken for comprehensive school improvement to scale. Whether the London Challenge is transferable and could be copied and whether it is sustainable for area-based improvement, only time will tell.
