Book excerpt: In his latest educational exposé, internationally acclaimed author and scholar, Professor David Hopkins, places established and emerging ideas about effective school and system improvement under scrutiny. Exploding the Myths of School Reformconfronts real-world challenges and perspectives from research, policy and practice, and draws on international benchmarking studies to support its objectives and claims. With each of ten chapters addressing a perceptible fallacy--such as the myths that poverty determines performance, that achievement cannot be achieved at scale, that innovation and networking always add value and that it is curriculum rather than learning that counts--this groundbreaking manifesto is set to provoke and persuade.
