- W99497497 abstract "The promotion of innovation is a theme that is commonly found in many LabourGovernment policies and publications since 1997, especially in education. However, inpractice, innovation is often difficult to define and can be challenging to implement.Since April 2000, small (Excellence in Cities) Education Action Zones have beendeveloped as one strand of the Government's 'Excellence in Cities' (EiC) programmeto raise standards of education in deprived urban areas of England. The wholeEducation Action Zone initiative (both large and small) has been promoted by theGovernment as a test-bed for innovation in order to improve educational standards.This study reviews the development of the Education Action Zone initiative and throughan empirical study, investigates the impact that the introduction of small (EiC)Education Action Zones has had on stimulating educational innovation in zone schoolsin the inner city areas of England.The study considers how the directors of the small zones have interpreted the meaningof innovation, the types of innovation that have been implemented in the zones and theimpact that these innovations have had on improving education provision in the zoneschools, as well as the barriers and constraints that the directors have experiencedwhen introducing innovations.The key findings from this study indicate that there is uncertainty about the meaning ofinnovation amongst zone directors, especially whether innovations have to be originalideas or just new within the context of their zone. The impact of the innovations thathave been implemented so far is difficult to assess, due to the short timescales involvedand the wide variety of innovations introduced. The innovations that have beenintroduced into the zones, mainly in the areas of pupil support, partnerships,curriculum, ICT and involving the wider community, have been new to the individualzones rather than 'new' per se. The zone directors do appear to have overcome manyof the barriers and constraints that they have encountered when implementinginnovations in the zones, resulting in thriving active partnerships developing betweenzone schools which should have positive outcomes for raising achievement in thefuture." @default.
