The changing role of headteachers and principals over the last
twenty years has resulted in a paradigm shift in which school
leaders now need to acquire skills in financial and human resource
management, organizational theory, and change management, in
addition to their traditional knowledge base in curriculum and
pedagogy.
As with any major initiative, this has created opportunities for
some and challenges for others. Opportunities have arisen to
develop to create new programmes to enhance leadership and
transform schools. The challenges - both practical and conceptual -
relate to a series of questions that will be unpacked in this book,
including:
What is the appropriate balance between the academic and the
practical in leadership programmes?
Should provision be located in higher education institutions, in
other government sponsored organizations or commissioned from the
private sector?
Are models of leadership studies derived from the business and
industry relevant to schools?
How can research into impact inform leadership development
policy and strategy?
Should programmes be integrated into higher degree provision or
should new and innovative forms of accreditation be developed?
This book should be read by headteachers, principals and
academics working and researching in the field of School
Leadership.
