Who is responsible for student learning? Walk into an effective school and ask this question of anyone-a teacher, a student, the principal, a parent volunteer, a secretary-and you'll get the same answer: "I am." Shared responsibility is something school communities build from within.

The Improvement Plan (better known as PdM, that is Piano di Miglioramento) was introduced in school agenda in 2015. Since then, both teachers and administrative staff have worked in a process of change and enhancement in two main areas: teaching/learning and organization/management ones. Consequently, it began to flourish implementing projects in order to find the best solutions to reach the main school goal: providing the educational success to all students, with respect for their several differences. This book collects papers, submitted at IV edition of the Seminar "INVALSI data: a research and teaching tool" held in Rome in November 2019, by both teachers and researchers to debate and deepen this topic, sharing ideas, suggestions, and experiences. INVALSI data could be a useful tool to find new paths to help schools in a permanent improving process, indeed.

Biofortification - the enrichment of staple food crops with essential micronutrients - has been heralded as a uniquely sustainable solution to the problem of micronutrient deficiency or 'hidden hunger'. Considerable attention and resources are being directed towards the biofortification of rice - the world's most important food crop. 1. 'Old Lessons and New Paradigms': Locating Biofortification2. Building the Argument: The Case of Iron Rice3. An Institutional Model? The Case of Golden Rice4. An Alliance around an Idea: The Shifting Boundaries of Harvestplus5. Global Science, Public Goods? A SynthesisConclusionNotesPublished in association with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)ReferencesThese issues are particularly important now as increasing concerns over food security are leading donors and policy makers to commit to ambitious visions of 'impact at scale' - visions which may never become a reality and may preclude more effective pathways from being pursued.Through an in-depth analysis of international rice biofortification efforts across the US, Philippines and China, this book provides an important critique of such goal-oriented, top-down approaches. These approaches, the author argues, exemplify a model of global, 'public goods' science that is emerging within complex, international research networks. It provides vital lessons for those researching and making decisions about science and research policy, showing that if this model becomes entrenched, it is likely to channel resources towards the search for 'silver bullet' solutions at the expense of more incremental approaches that respond to locality, diversity and the complex and uncertain interactions between people and their environments. The author proposes a series of key changes to institutions and practices that might allow more context-responsive alternatives to emerge.
