ABSTRACT
The IQEA framework for school improvement is based on our experience that effective change strategies focus not only on the implementation of school-selected policies or chosen initiatives, but also on creating the conditions within schools that can sustain the teaching–learning process. As our work has progressed we have found it necessary to establish certain conditions within the classroom alongside those at the level of the school, if school improvement strategies are to fully impact on student achievement. We have elaborated such a set of classroom conditions designed to assist teachers in facilitating the learning of all students. In this chapter we describe those classroom conditions which we have found necessary for sustainable school improvement.
