This book introduces theories of educational leadership and management and provides examples of their translation into practice. Many students studying education no longer go directly into teaching, but instead follow a diverse range of careers associated with the education sector more widely: local authorities, think tanks, charities, school trusts, administrative, and managerial roles. This book highlights and explores these diverse pathways. For staff in schools who are currently on a National Professional Qualification (NPQ) this book gives an overview of differing leadership pathways, including senior leadership (NPQSL) and headship (NPQH), whilst also discussing the impact of system reforms (NPQEL).
Topics covered include:
strategies for leadership across primary, secondary, and higher education settings
school leadership and management through the challenges of the pandemic and beyond
equality and diversity and inclusive practice
non-teaching leadership roles
By offering an introduction to leadership and management discourse not usually encountered until postgraduate study, this lively and accessible book is an essential read for all students of Education Studies as well as those embarking on CPD or National Professional Qualifications.
