It analyses the key leadership strategies of these successful school leaders, strategies that can be deployed in all schools, and explores the links between leadership theories and leadership actions.

Education Policy - Process, Themes and Impact (Hardcover): Les Bell, Howard Stevenson Education Policy - Process, Themes and Impact (Hardcover)
Les Bell, Howard Stevenson
R3,597 Discovery Miles 35 970 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The study of educational leadership makes little sense unless it is in relation to who the leaders are, how they are leading, what is being led, and with what effect. Based on the premise that learning is at the heart of leadership and that leaders themselves should be learners, the Leadership for Learning series explores the connections between educational leadership, policy, curriculum, human resources and accountability. Each book in the series approaches its subject matter through a three-fold structure of process, themes and impact.

Series Editors - Clive Dimmock, Mark Brundrett and Les Bell

As global pressures focus increasing attention on the outcomes of education policy and on their implications for economic prosperity and social citizenship, the experience of each individual learner is decisively shaped by the wider policy environment. However, there is often an underdeveloped understanding of how education policy is formed, what drives it and how it impacts on schools and colleges. This book explicitly makes these connections and links them to the wider challenges of educational leadership in a modern context.

Education Policy is divided into three sections, which examine:

  • the development of policy at the levels of the nation state and individual institutions
  • the forces that shape policies with emphasis on human capital theory, citizenship and social justice and accountability
  • research-based case studies highlighting the application of policy in a range of situations.

The book provides a valuable resource for students, practitioners, middle managers and educational leaders in all sectors, both in the UK and internationally, who are engaged on masters and doctoral degrees, or undertaking leadership training and preparation programmes.

Managing Teams in Secondary Schools (Hardcover, New): Les Bell Managing Teams in Secondary Schools (Hardcover, New)
Les Bell
R4,996 Discovery Miles 49 960 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Change has been a major characteristic of education for the past few years as wide-ranging new legislation has been implemented, but practical advice on how to manage and cope with change in schools has been hard to come by. This book, written by two practising educational psychologists, seeks to remedy this by providing practical psychological approaches to the management of schools in general and the management of change in particular. "Managing Teams in Secondary Schools" examines planning for the future, arguing for vision, intermediate and short-term objectives. It also looks at a number of key strategies in relation to bringing about change, including consultation, negotiation, research, project development, in-service training, professional and policy development. The authors point out the systemic links between policy, professional development and objective setting, and also explore methods of evaluating change and celebrating success. Most importantly, the book looks at how change affects the individual, how to safeguard the interests of staff and pupils during the change process, and how to be aware of the limits to the amount of change the individual and the organization

Managing Teams in Secondary Schools (Paperback): Les Bell Managing Teams in Secondary Schools (Paperback)
Les Bell
R1,573 Discovery Miles 15 730 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Education Reform Act of 1988 had enormous implications for the management of secondary schools. In particular, the Act brought about changes for those responsible for departmental, year or cross-curricular teams. Managing Teams in Secondary Schools gives practical guidance to teachers who carry out such responsibilities. Based on the premise that all teachers in secondary schools have direct and developing part to play in the management of the school at some level, the book examines the changes the Act entails, and locates the work of team leaders and their colleagues within that framework. it provides an accessible and detailed discussion both of the nature of teamwork, the underlying role of planning and the need for effective communication, and of the skills required of the successful team leader. Les Bell looks in particular at team-building in the context of planning, decision-making and problem-solving as part of the process of change management, and at staff development and appraisal programmes. The key focus is on the management of staff and relationships within staff and the relationships within staff groups.

Management Skills in Primary Schools (Hardcover): Les Bell Management Skills in Primary Schools (Hardcover)
Les Bell
R3,478 Discovery Miles 34 780 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Originally published in 1988. The qualities that identify a good school are high teaching standards and teacher morale, good levels of behaviour, successful pupil performance and a well-balanced provision of extra-curricular activities. Such schools are described as 'well-run' but the correlation between effectiveness and an explicit management strategy is not yet established. This book seeks to examine the role of management in the primary school and to identify those areas in which effective management practice can make a valuable contribution to school life for the benefit of both staff and pupils. It argues that although useful insights can be gained into school organisation from the scientific management perspective, the human relation approach to management has more to offer to those working in the primary sector. The focus is therefore on personal relationships. The importance of a clear sense of purpose is emphasised throughout, especially in view of the challenges which now face our primary schools.
