Abstract
This chapter reviews the literature on school effectiveness from virtually all the countries in the world where research has been conducted to assess the state of the art of the discipline across the world. It conveys a sense of the historical background to school effectiveness research in various countries and a sense also of the reasons why the countries differ so much in the quantity and the quality of their knowledge bases. The chapter discusses the lessons from the various countries in terms of their contribution to research practice and general conceptualizations of the way to practice school effectiveness research. It also discusses the ways in which the field of school effectiveness might usefully develop in the future, based on an appreciation in different countries of the value of research approaches that reflect best practice as identified internationally.
