ABSTRACT

From the outset, the IQEA project was conceived of as a research and development project committed both to supporting and understanding the process of change and development in schools. The nature of our research and development work within the IQEA project is inevitably iterative. We engage in research and theory building by reviewing the knowledge base, gathering data, reflecting on outcomes, formulating hypotheses, testing them out, and refining them – all in collaboration with schools in the network.
