Networked Improvement in the US and England: A New Role for the Middle Tier
Alternate name
Chapter 8
Abstract/Description
As education systems throughout the world confront increasingly lofty demands for rigor and equity, there is a growing need to investigate the ways in which practice-based knowledge—whether derived from professional expertise, the classroom, school and system-level data, and/or external research—is generated, shared, and used by teachers and school leaders across diverse contexts. More simply, we need to better understand how and why educational outcomes vary for different groups of children and for different types of schools, and to find ways to reduce this variation through disciplined learning and the systematic application of practical knowledge. This chapter seeks to advance that agenda by focusing on what we refer to as “middle-tier” organizations (MTOs), such as district central offices, local authorities, charter management organizations (CMOs), and other school support organizations that play a crucial role in large-scale school improvement efforts.
