This has been a period of intense international interest in educational quality and standards. Today, we are in a position where thereis a wealth of theory and research evidence about what makes an effective school anda quality education. This material is not always easily available to school leaders and teachers in a practical and coherent form. This Cambridge guide is designed to meet this need for schools that:  \n• provide one or more of the Cambridge curriculum programmes for their learners  \n• aspire to achieve a high standard of education for these learners  \n• are committed to the ongoing process of school development.  \nThis guide will help school leaders and teachers to understand, and put into practice in their own context, some of the important lessons learned from international work on raising quality standards and improving educational outcomes. It is designed to complement other Cambridge resources for school leaders and teachers including Implementing the Curriculum with Cambridge and Developing the Cambridge Learner Attributes . Find [them at](them at www.cambridgeinternational.org.uk/teaching-and-learning)[ www.cambridgeinternational.org.uk/teaching-and-learning](them at www.cambridgeinternational.org.uk/teaching-and-learning)  \nThe primary audience for the guide is schools that are newly registered with Cambridge International. Providing one or more Cambridge programmes often involves significant transformation, with new and different approaches. The guide supports the development work that schools will already have undertaken to register with Cambridge International and to plan for introducing one or more Cambridge programmes. Newly registered schools are likely to be ‘working towards’ the achievement of at least some of the Cambridge standards, which is recognised in the registration process. The development work covered in the guide will enable the school to achieve these standards and then continue to develop to become an even better school.  \nThe guide will also be of interest to schools going through the registration process, and to well-established schools that have achieved the Cambridge registration standards. School development is a journey, and one of the characteristics of outstanding schools and school systems is that they are always striving for further improvements.  \nThe timescale of activity in the guide covers a period of 3–5 years. This will vary depending on what processes you have already put in place and the outcomes achieved in the school. As school development is a never-ending cycle of evaluation and improvement, the activities will relate closely to ongoing cycles of implementation, monitoring, review and revision well into the future.  \nThe aim of the guide is to provide an introduction to school development that improves the delivery of Cambridge programmes and thereby supports student learning.  \nThe purpose of the guide is to be a user-friendly and practical manual for Cambridge schools in a wide range of contexts. As well as providing some guidance about effective practice, it will also direct users to additional reading on key topics so that schools can access the research evidence directly. It will introduce, but not fully explore, further steps that more experienced schools could take towards achieving sustainable excellence.  \nThe focus of the guide is on improving the quality of student learning. This includes:  \n• a classroom focus on the quality of learning for individual students  \n• a broader focus on improving the quality of student learning – through developing a school-wide culture of learning supported by a shared educational vision and the systems and processes necessary to achieve and sustain it.  \n1.2 Resources  \nThis guide contains a limited selection of examples.
