It includes short think pieces, case studies, diagnostic reviews, selected quotations on a particular theme and questions for discussion and reflection. The content is clustered into themes including: The changing context of education / strategic thinking Alternative perspectives - international comparisons Understanding effective leadership Getting management right - making schools work Leading teaching and learning Developing staff capacity Performance and accountability Working collaboratively Engaging with the community Personal resilience and sustainability The book is a valuable and practical resource for leadership teams.
