Contemporary education systems face significant challenges.
Increasing emphasis is being placed on the importance of
high-quality leadership to meet these challenges. This book
provides a range of case studies and theoretical and methodological
perspectives on the practical leadership tasks that underpin
educational change. Section 1 focuses on the nature of professional
learning and the policy context in which educational reform takes
place. Section 2 explores the forms of leadership relevant to the
differing contexts of professional development. Section 3 explores
mentoring, peer coaching, team and group work. These processes are
examined through international experience and by reference to work
in other professions. Section 4 analyzes the experience of evidence
based work in medicine and the health service and the potential of
applying this to education. Section 5 looks at the potential role
that interactive technologies can play in professional development
This book should be of use to anyone involved in leading
professional development, including advisors and inspectors and
senior and middle managers in schools and colleges.
