In this article, John Beresford, Hilary Stokes, Janet Neely and John Morris describe the challenges faced in transferring a strategic approach to school improvement that has been tried and tested in mainstream education to the special education sector. They suggest that, although priorities for development may differ in each sector, the process of reflection and enquiry that IQEA promotes is one that can be of as much help to special schools as it has been in the mainstream. Describing a case study of one particular school’s approach to school development, the article suggests that the close professional relationships that already exist in special education mean that special schools are ideally suited to adopting an IQEA approach to school improvement. |
