In a complex and multi-layered world, the conventional idea of great leadership being the result of the efforts of a single individual is rapidly becoming redundant. This book takes up the challenge of finding an alternative method of leadership in educational contexts, and looks at how this can help achieve sustained improvement in schools. The authors acknowledge that there are no simple solutions to school improvement. They argue that the effective leaders of the future will be those who are able to share responsibility, build positive relationships and offer stakeholders - teachers, parents and students - an opportunity to work together to improve their schools. The book is based around four key areas of concern: the changing context of leadership, leadership and school improvement, building leadership capacity, and future direction and implications. In each section, the authors discuss current theories and issues, and put forward alternative ideas and perspectives. This important book will make valuable reading for headteachers, principles, deputies and other senior teachers, particularly those undertaking leadership qualifications and training. It will also be of interest to postgraduate students and school governors.
What tensions arise between philosophy of religion and theology?
What strengths and weaknesses of analytical methods emerge in
relation to strongly confessional philosophical theologies, or to
Continental philosophies? Faith and Philosophical Analysis
evaluates how well philosophy of religion serves in understanding
religious faith. Figures who rarely share the space of the same
book - leading exponents of analytic philosophy of religion and
those who question its legacy - are drawn together in this book,
with their disagreements harnessed to positive effect. Figures such
as Richard Swinburne and Basil Mitchell reflect on their life-long
projects from a perspective which has not previously been seen in
print. A wide range of approaches found in contemporary philosophy
of religion are explored, including: reformed epistemology,
'traditional' metaphysical theory building, feminist methodologies,
Wittgensteinian approaches, and American pragmatism. Considering
the trends in philosophy of religion as they are interacting across
continents, looking particularly at philosophical influences in
North America, Britain, and Continental Europe, this book will
appeal to students, scholars and general readers with an interest
in philosophy of religion, theology, or analytical philosophy.
A comprehensive history of parliament in the British Isles from the
earliest times, covering all aspects of parliament as an
institution. A Short History of Parliament is a comprehensive
institutional history, not a political history of parliament,
though politics is included where, as frequently occurred,
institutional changes resulted from particular political events. It
covers the English parliament from its origins, the pre-1707
Scottish parliament and the pre-1800 Irish parliament, the
parliament of Great Britain from 1707 and the parliament of the
United Kingdom from 1801, together with sections on the
post-devolution parliaments and assemblies set up in the 1990s and
on parliaments in the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and the
Irish Republic. It considers all aspects of parliament as an
institution:membership of both the Lords and the Commons;
constituencies, elections and franchises; where the Lords and the
Commons met; how business was arranged and managed, including
Speakers, the use of committees, the development of parties,
lobbying and voting procedures; legal cases in the House of Lords;
official recording of and reporting of business and debates; the
conflict and balance of power between the two Houses; and the
position of the monarch in parliament. Each section contains a
chronology listing key events, suggestions for further reading and
"inserts" - short anecdotes or accounts of particular figures or
episodes which provide lively illustrations of parliament at work
in different periods. Clyve Jones is an honorary fellow of the
Institute of Historical Research. He has been editor of the journal
Parliamentary History since 1986. Previously he was reader in
modern historyin the University of London and collection
development librarian in the Institute of Historical Research. He
has published extensively on the history of the House of Lords and
of the peerage in the early eighteenth century.
