What is the International Network for School Improvement? 

The Network’s purpose is to give a central place to pupils’ learning in school improvement. It aims to focus on the interconnected processes that are at the heart of a school focused on learning and to enable an active role for pupils in their learning, supported by staff, parents and children’s services colleagues. It does this by promoting a partnership between research and practice, which inform and strengthen each other.

 

  The Network designs and supports school improvement which:
  • involves students and staff in active participatory learning
  • addresses barriers to learning
  • studies the leadership and organisational processes that support learning
  • strengthens the connection between the classroom, school and its community

  

  

The Network provides opportunities to collaborate with and learn from colleagues in schools, children’s services and higher education institutes across the UK.  It offers a range of events, publications and projects to members as well as the opportunity to be linked to the broad range of expertise and knowledge available across the Institute of Education as a whole. The Network is well connected internationally and continues to develop and build these partnerships.
