  7. Stewart’s “A World-Class Education” • What are the key lessons that can be learned from Stewart’s analysis of school systems in different countries? • Is there a pattern amongst the “successful” school systems? What factors and policy decisions make them successful? • How did surveys (PISA) aid Stewart in drawing conclusions about the state of school systems in different countries?

  8. Jensen’s “Catching Up” • What are the key success factors that Jensen’s report on successful schools in East Asia has discovered? • Do these successful schools’ policies have similarities to each other despite being in different countries? • Based on Jensen’s evidence, how would you advise other schools who wish to improve their schools?

  9. Comparison • What parallels can be drawn between Stewart and Jensen’s research and conclusions? • Is there an overriding theme or lesson that can be taken away from these readings? Do they share a similar message? • How does survey analysis and policy comparison best enable them to determine “what works?”
