This peer-reviewed journal wishes to encourage international debate about change in schools, especially, but not only, schools in challenging contexts. This includes research relating to learning and teaching in the classroom, the curriculum, teacher professional development and the relationships between schools, their communities and the broader education system. The journal also publishes research on innovative programmes in pre-service teacher education. In general, articles on leadership and management are not the focus of the journal, unless they are related to curriculum leadership.

Contributions are published mainly in the form of empirical research articles and original theoretical works, as well as book review articles.
