Details: This book sets out to take party politics and ideology out of the analysis of good schooling. It examines research and practical evidence about what works best in schools and sets out to present this in a way that enables those interested to make their own informed judgements when reacting to new education policy measures or assessing the programs and practices in the schools with which they are associated.

The Education Now series aims to synthesise the wealth of information that is available on the important features of schooling and present this in an accessible and objective way. Each paper in the series draws on sound data and reputable research findings and makes this evidence accessible to general readers keen to understand the wide range of influences on each student's experience of school and to recognise what actions, by governments, schools and families, will make a difference.
