Drawing together current thinking and research by leading writers in the field, Educational Leadership will help you to understand and critically analyze key strategic aspects of educational leadership, including leadership perspectives and values, external and internal contexts, autonomy and accountability, partnership and collaboration, and leading strategy and change.

The book explores major challenges for educational leaders in managing the increasingly permeable boundary between educational organizations and their external contexts, and reconciling environmental expectations and internal priorities. It will encourage you to positively problematize the field and reflect on current debates and issues. This book is an essential resource for providers and students of graduate courses in educational leadership and management, as well as those involved in undertaking professional development programs.
