International Perspectives on Education Reform

Leading global education researchers from 15 countries across six continents discussed their visions for driving meaningful, positive educational change in this time-limited blog. Stemming from their essays in the recently published Leading Educational Change: Global Issues, Challenges, and Lessons on Whole-System Reform (Teachers College Press, 2013), the book’s editor Helen Janc Malone and her fellow contributors addressed improving practice, equity and educational justice, accountability and assessment, and whole-system change. This blog is no longer being updated, but you can continue to explore these issues on edweek.org by visiting our related topic pages: international and education reform.
