First published in 1982. Between 1955 and 1980 the number of pupils
in special needs schools in Britain increased tenfold. Between 1970
and 1977 the number of units for 'difficult' pupils also increased
tenfold and went on increasing. Some observers saw this as a
welcome advance in special education, others as an extension of
discrimination. The authors of this study highlight the dangers of
such a provision being used as a form of social control, which may
be imposed on children whose only failure is an inability to fit
into the stereotype of the ideal student.
Globalisation of world trade, international media, technological
innovation and social change are creating opportunities and
challenges that today's pupils will inherit and build on. A pupil's
academic, technical and social capacity will define their success
or failure. Therefore, educational outcomes and well-being for
young people across emerging and developed economies and the
crucial role of education and leaders of education has never been
more important. Schools are under pressure to think more clearly
about their place in children's lives beyond the passage of
learning in classrooms. The processes inside schools, the
organisation of school systems and the relationship between
communities' educators are critical elements in a complex mix that
must balance correctly if it is to benefit school children
properly. Using the term 'high leverage leadership' to describe
leadership that is associated with higher outcomes than would
normally be found in similar contexts, this timely book: Provides
an overview of the development of educational leadership research
Demonstrates how successful educational leaders apply contextual,
social and professional expertise to the three distinctive
leadership tasks of navigation, management and partnership Offers
an insight into the complexity of the educational leadership and
practices of school leaders who, against the odds, produce high
outcomes for young people Validates the idea that a renovation of
educational leadership is necessary to maximise educational
outcomes. High Leverage Leadership will be an indispensible text
for school leaders, public sector officers, post-graduate students
and researchers in leadership, policy, school improvement and
educational change.
