- Description
- The earlier chapters in this book have described how collaborative inquiry was used to promote greater equity within schools in the research network. As noted in Chapter 1, this emphasis is based on the view that much of the expertise needed to make schools more equitable already exists within the staff and, indeed, among the other members of the school community, not least the students themselves. The accounts presented demonstrate that collaborative inquiry creates the possibility for schools to mobilise this untapped potential in ways that can help to foster improvements in classroom practice, school organisation and leadership. This chapter extends this thinking by examining the impact of wider contextual factors on developments in the network schools. In particular, it examines factors that acted as barriers to the efforts made to encourage schools to collaborate with one another and with community partners in order to address the challenge of equity.
