Accompanying the pupils' full-colour textbook, this pack enhances classroom effectiveness and helps raise standards of teaching and learning. It places emphasis on individual target setting, whereby pupils' achievement is easily monitored.

From September 1998, governing bodies were required to set school targets for development in curriculum, personnel, environment, finance and the community. This book is a comprehensive guide which will be welcomed by governing bodies and staff. It offers an explanation of how we can measure schools, how we can evaluate the performance of the governing body and ways of helping everyone involved in school management and governance to work out how well their school is doing. It serves as a fine companion volume to Nigel Gann's successful first book Improving School Governance.

Designing an inclusive curriculum for all pupils is not easy. The practicing teachers who have written this book offer clearly laid out ideas and objectives for learning that goes beyond the National Curriculum. It incorporates a holistic approach to the development of a relevant curriculum for pupils and students who experience profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD).

A sensible, workable and practical approach for any teacher who wishes to understand and promote effective classroom inclusion for children with learning difficulties, focused on the realities of teaching.

Focusing on the move from primary to secondary school, this book aims to help teachers and school managers to recognize and deal with the often traumatic effects that this transition has on young people's lives. The book: * explores the links between primary and secondary curricula * offers specific advice on how to meet the needs of children in transition * provides materials for investigating transition which will enable schools to identify the strengths and weaknesses in their approach.

In 2004, the Government announced 110 Public Service Agreement (PSA) targets for 17 Departments covering the period 2005-08. PSA targets express the priority outcomes that Departments are seeking to achieve nationally and internationally, and cover key aspects of the Government's social, economic and environmental policy. Large sums of public money are devoted to the programmes designed to deliver them. This NAO report contains the detailed results of its examination of the data systems used by six government departments to monitor and report progress against their 2005-08 PSA targets, covering a total of 65 data systems. The six Departments are: the Cabinet Office, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Department for Education and Skills, the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Defence and HM Treasury. Findings include that 75 per cent of the data systems used are broadly appropriate, but less than half of these were fully fit for purpose. Most required some action to strengthen measurement or reporting arrangements. A companion volume (HCP 127-I, session 2006-07, ISBN 0102944040) is available separately which contains the NAO's summarised findings.
