Abstract
The main principles of Sizer’s “Coalition of essential schools” project in the US, and Chen’s “Kramim school” project in Israel, two “school of the future” projects, are presented. ITEM’s possible contribution to each of their principles is exemplified. It is argued that ITEM is indispensable in the school of the future, especially as a tool for enhancing school leadership, change introduction and management and, for teaching and learning evaluation. The “school of the future” still has to evolve and current ITEM systems will have to be redesigend to serve its emerging pedagogical and administrative needs.
