School Leadership

School Leadership summarises current thinking about leadership 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. The authors' recent experience with Headship training is discussed and analysed.O'Brien, Jim is the author of 'School Leadership ' with ISBN 9781903765258 and ISBN 1903765250.
