`If one is concerned with the future of education this book is a
must. While it is humbling it is also an inspirational invitation
for transformation' - Florida Journal of Educational Administration
& Policy `It is clear that school leadership has had to adapt
to the changing educational climate and this has required changes
at all levels, as well as shifts in balance. This book addresses
these challenges and demonstrates a variety of illustrative
examples of how successful these changes can be. This is a useful
primer for those studying leadership in schools and some of the
associated theories and practice . There are wide and
well-considered references across the educational and management
lendscape and it provides thought-provoking views on how leadership
can be practised'-ESCalate `The fact that we know you are watching,
Brian, helps all of us both to perform well in the present and to
invent a future in which we perform better still...I commend
Brian's writings to anyone committed to world-class public
education' - Professor Sir Michael Barber, Expert Partner, Global
Public Sector Practice, McKinsey and Company, Former Head of Prime
Minister's Delivery Unit at 10 Downing Street `In Re-imagining
Educational Leadership Brian Caldwell has set an outstanding
framework for school leaders and educators to fundamentally rethink
schools and school leadership. The book is very perceptive and
links ideas and concepts to the practical reality of schools in an
inspiring and imaginative way. This is a 'must read' book for all
those involved in developing inspiring leadership in our schools.
This is a major contribution to the educational literature' -
Professor Brent Davies, Professor of International Leadership
Development at the University of Hull `Brian Caldwell has
successfully brought together an analysis of past and current
practice in leadership but, most significantly, he has outlined key
thoughts, ideas and perspectives to inspire leaders in their
personal learning journey in the future... This book will become
one of the key sources of ideas for leadership in schools over the
next few years. It is both accessible and thought provoking while
never losing the practical relevance to schools and school leaders.
This is a "must read" for all those involved in educational
leadership and 21st century schooling' - International Journal of
Educational Management We do not know the precise form that
education will take in different settings in 25 years' time. No-one
does. No-one should claim to have this foresight. Leadership is
required, however, regardless of the form that education takes. In
this book, Brian Caldwell draws on his work on self-managing
schools, his most recent work in the UK with the Specialist Schools
and Academies Trust, and on evidence from around the world, to
describe how leadership is changing the world of education on a
scale that can best be described as transformation. Such leadership
differs in important ways from what has been expected in the past:
it requires a change in role at all levels, and shifts the balance
from what is often a dispiriting and discouraging experience to one
that is exhilarating. The author's insight and recommendations are
essential reading for all school leaders, potential school leaders
and policy makers at local and national levels who seek to secure
high levels of achievement for all students in all settings. About

Melbourne-based Educational Transformations, and Professorial
