The context for Schools on the Move is the diversity of Ontario and the good work being done in schools across the province. Emerging from both the Schools on the Move themselves and the research literature are five major themes that describe the practices that are required to move schools forward:Monitoring student learning and setting direction ; Managing cultural change ; Focusing on teaching and learning ; Sharing and distributing leadership for learning ; Connecting with families and communities ; Vignettes from classrooms and schools identify what these themes look like and sound like from the perspective of students, teachers, administrators and parents. In addition, a section on networking learning communities explores a variety of approaches to spread these effective practices across schools.
