Description
High-level Leadership Improving Outcomes in Educational Settings The future success of young people depends on their academic, technical and social capacity. As a result, educational outcomes and well-being have never been more crucial. Schools must balance their role in children's lives with the need to produce high-quality learning in classrooms. Effective leadership is critical to achieving this balance. This book explores the development of educational leadership research and how successful leaders apply expertise to navigate, manage and partner with others. It also examines the complexity of educational leadership and the practices of school leaders who achieve high outcomes despite challenges. By understanding the principles of high-level leadership, schools can improve their performance and benefit their students. A key finding of this book is that a renovation of educational leadership is necessary to maximise educational outcomes. As such, it is an essential text for school leaders, public sector officers, post-graduate students and researchers in leadership and educational change.
