Synopsis

Schools become increasingly complex organisations and, as their role in socialising young people is recognised, the task of managing the school community is receiving greater attention than ever before. School Leadership summarises current thinking about leadership and management in schools and suggests ways forward. School leadership is set in its social context: Is leadership associated with function within a bureaucratically ordered hierarchy? is it widely shared across communities? or is it both? The school is considered both as an institution of the state and as an agency of democratic values. Ideas as to who the leaders are and what leadership involves are recast by the concepts and ideas put forward by the contributors to this book. The authors' recent experience with Headship preparation and development is discussed and analysed. While set in the Scottish experience, this book provides examples and proposes solutions to universal issues facing many schools and school leaders across the world. School Leadership is required reading for head teachers, education administrators and for those aspiring to leadership and management roles in schools. This is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of a book that has been a key resource for School Leadership programmes since publication of the first edition in 2003.
