Abstract
Over the last decade the rhetoric of school improvement has changed from a
language of school reform to a language of system reform. The educational discourse has shifted away from school improvement to a preoccupation with innovation, change and transformation. The context of collaboration is centrally important to understanding the gains in achievement made by schools over the last decade. The move from individualism to collectivism has created a climate in which there is greater trust in schools’ ability to help other schools to improve.
