Synopsis: - How effective school partnerships can enhance the quality of teaching and learning, and the creation of more vibrant, cost-effective provision.- How business and industry can take on a more strategic and structured role in the construction of meaningful learning experiences.- How high-quality local authorities can foster personalized provision in their own area.The success of personalizing learning in schools depends on the effective working together of all parties that form the education system. This book examines the roles and responsibilities of the key stakeholders: national government, local authorities, partnerships of schools and the world of business and industry.The authors expose how the current system fails a significant number of young people and the economic well-being of the nation, and present a realistic alternative perspective based upon examples of current practice at local and national level. This growing base of evidence signposts how the learning experiences of students can be truly transformed through innovative and effective teaching and learning.
