Material Detail

The re is great interest in educational leadership in the early part of the 21stcentury because of the widespread belief that the quality of leadership makesa significant difference to school and student outcomes. There is also increasingrecognition that schools require effective leaders and managers if they are toprovide the best po ssible education f or their learners. Schools need trained andcommitted teachers but they, in turn, need the leadership of highly effectiveprincipals and support f rom other senior and m iddle manag ers. While the needfor eff ective leaders is widely ack nowledged, there is much less certainty aboutwhich leadership behaviours are most likely to produce favourable outcomes.I examine the theoretical underpinning s for the fie ld of educational leadershipand manag ement, assess different leadership mode ls, and discuss the evidenceof their relative effectiveness in developing successful schools.
