Abstract

Creating education systems that are both equitable and excellent has become a preoccupation for many education systems. A recent UNESCO Global Monitoring Report concluded that inequality in education has increased, with the poorest and most disadvantaged shouldering the heaviest burden. One approach to addressing this issue is through collaborative approaches to school improvement. This involves strengthening relationships between schools to increase support and challenge whilst eliminating system-level practices that inhibit inclusive practices. This symposium will draw lessons from four distinct country contexts (USA, Chile, England and Scotland). In each of these cases collaborative inquiry has been employed as a mechanism for research-practice partnerships (RPPs) to build leadership capacity, and move knowledge, practice and ideas between schools to promote equity and inclusion.
