- Book Synopsis
- Customised Schooling aims to reorient discussions about school reform by moving away from "whole school" solutions to customised services and products. While the best-known entrepreneurial efforts have sought to fix problems at a school wide level, this volume looks at "how providers might use new tools to deliver or customise services that do not conform to conventional [school] policies or structures." The book surveys the current landscape of customised entrepreneurial activity in education, looks closely at particular customised innovations by schools and education entrepreneurs, and addresses persistent concerns that arise in connection with customised reforms. Overall, the book aims to spur fresh thought about the scope and nature of promising education reforms and to open up strikingly new possibilities for entrepreneurial activity in today's schools.
