This volume presents findings and insights from contemporary  thinking and research about alternative and new ways that computerised  information systems might be designed and used to support the  improvement of educational institutions. Many pathways are identified  although expansion of access to and use of computerised systems by a  much broader range of professionals than in the past is vital to the  success of improvement initiatives. The contents are in four  sections: Models for supporting and enhancing  professional practice;   Computerised school information system  models and designs;   Evaluation of system effects; and    Making a difference through training and professional  development.    Pathways to Institutional Improvement with Information Technology  in Educational Management will be of interest to a wide range  of educational professionals, researchers and system designers. The  contents suggest, in particular, ways that educational professionals  might revise their understandings of how computerised systems may in  the future be designed and used to support key institutional  processes, policy and strategy development, professional and executive  decisions, and institutional planning and programme review.  This book contains the selected proceedings of the Fourth  International Working Conference on Information Technology in  Educational Management, which was sponsored by the International  Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Auckland, New  Zealand, in July 2000.
