Improving School Effectiveness

by Jaap Scheerens

This booklet reviews the research evidence that has been obtained on school effectiveness in developed and developing countries. School effectiveness is difficult to define and to measure, and each case is specific. Whilst there is broad agreement in the qualitative reviews, the quantitative studies show much uncertainty as to what is generally applicable, and the author cautions against their use a blueprint for what should happen in schools.
