The persistent challenge of achieving excellence and equity within
education systems has renewed interest in generating
context-specific solutions through localised school networks. But
how can successful school networks be developed? Based around the
lifecycle of a network, this book traces the development of a
network from its initial inception, exploring the ways in which it
can be sustained and remain capable of meeting the future
challenges faced by schools and their communities. The book
explores a series of important issues facing school leaders,
including: the benefits of investing time and energy in networks
with other schools and communities the particular problems faced by
schools and the education system which are best tackled by
network-based solutions the advantages for schools and communities
of engaging with collaborative reform agenda the ways in which
networks can be managed, and the differences between leading a
school or a team and a network the elements which make an effective
network. The book draws on UK and international research to discuss
the development and leadership of networks and to outline a number
of tried-and-tested leadership approaches. In addition, the authors
draw on their own experience and research to provide accounts of
real networks to expose the realities of networking. Each chapter
tackles a key leadership issue and ends with a series of tools to
support those leading and facilitating networks tackle these in
practice. This book will be of interest to practising school
leaders, network co-ordinators, postgraduate students and those
researching educational leadership and school improvement.
