Description
What is our best present understandingof good school leadership?How do I lead my school to make itrelevant to students of the 21st century?The idea for this book grew out of aninternational conference organized by theNational College for School Leadership,An International Future: learning frombest practice worldwide, which exploredinnovative and significant aspects ofeducational leadership and brought together internationalcolleagues to generate new understandings.
The conference proved adynamic forum for debate for researchers, academics, policy-makersand practitioners.
It was clear at the conference that there was aconsensus of understanding around certain key themes that crossednational boundaries.
