[ED: Hardcover], [PU: OPEN UNIVERSITY PRESS], Educational leaders - whether in schools, colleges or higher education - are challenged with steering unprecedented change educational management has never been more demanding. Within the context of a new 'learning age' and the Teacher Training Agency's National Standards, this book explores many of the key issues facing those both aspiring to and already involved in leadership and management, whether at middle or senior levels. While focusing particularly on schools and colleges, this book evaluates issues increasingly central to leadership in a variety of professional educational settings, for example, school improvement, innovation, teamwork, organizational culture, professional development, motivation and the nature of leadership. In identifying key concepts, it scrutinizes possible management strategies within a changing policy context that is increasingly focused around standards, accountability and reputation. The book utilizes research evidence to illuminate the practices, challenges and problems facing educationists and endeavours to overcome the perceived gap between practice and research to create an integrated approach to leadership and management development: one which both supports and stimulates managers' professional development aspirations.Review quote:"This nifty book is aimed at school leaders and provides guidance through difficult times...particularly helpful in the area of school education and curriculum leadership." - International School of Cape Towns NewsletterTable of contents:Acknowledgements List of abbreviationsPart one: Leading and managingThe context for educational leadershipDeveloping leadership and management effectivenessManaging ourselves and leading othersMotivating and managing othersLeading effective teamsPart two: Changing and learningEffective communicationOrganizational culturesManaging change and creating opportunitiesEducational improvement, inspection and effectivenessManaging in learning organizationsPart three: Tasks and responsibilitiesManaging staff and promoting qualityManaging resources and financeManaging stakeholder relationships and partnershipsLeading and managing for professional developmentPostscriptBibliographyIndexes.241.3 x 172.7 mmVersandfertig in 6-10 Tagen<
