It presents a theoretical and practical case for an alternative approach that combines the rigour of traditional ''top-down'' accountability models with the engagement and buy-in of school led ''inside-out'' approaches – a combination which can be applied to any school in any context internationally. David Crossley and a range of practitioners and academics draw on their extensive experience of past approaches to school improvement in the UK and US. Rather
