Description

In an era where educational disparity poses a significant challenge, this book explores the transformative power of school-to-school collaboration through the development of the Education Group in China.

The chapters cover one of the critical forms of school-to-school collaboration in China, the Education Group, which was adopted to address the educational gaps among schools and between regions. Through an in-depth case study of education groups, the book unveils how these collaborations serve as a strategic tool to enhance teaching quality and bridge the education divide. With a focus on the intricacies of implementation, strategies, and the multifaceted impacts on teachers, the case study offers a comprehensive look into the mechanics and outcomes of educational groups in China. With special attention paid to this form of school-to-school collaboration, the book debates how it influences teachers in China, applying both the organisational neo-institutionalism theory and the network governance theory to assess the developing trajectory of the education group in China and investigate its impact on teachers.

This book is an essential resource for academics and students in the field of educational sciences who are interested in the impact of policy and collaboration on teaching quality. It is also a viable resource for teachers and school leaders looking for actionable strategies to enhance collaborative efforts.
