What is it about?
According to the New Public Governance paradigm, this paper analyses the institu- tional and organizational conditions that can lead to an improvement in student learning (a typical co-produced outcome) by acting on the promotion of genuine collaborative re- lationships. The distinctive features of Italian distributed governance and the challenges for school management are discussed by exam- ining TIMSS and INVALSI data.
