Educational Leadership

An excellent resource for our M.Ed leadership students -- Dr Anthony Koyzis * drupal *
An excellent book that covers key concepts and theories of leadership. The selection of readings provides a good introduction to understand the nature of educational leadership. It is particularly relevant for students at master level who are already working in an educational settings and are willing to develop their understanding of leadership issues in theory and practice. -- Dr Violeta Perez del Aguila * drupal *
This is an excellent well written book. It is written more for educators in leadership positions, but our course mainly attracts students who are clinically based educators, but are leaders in implementing curriculum content and new ways of educating. I would recommend this to any student who is higher up the managerial ladder -- Mr Nick White * drupal *
This current publication edited by Margaret Preedy is an excellent update of the Preedy et al (2003) compilation. It is particularly encouraging to see an addition of a more critical perspective on leadership provided by Richard Hatcher in chapter 19, Leadership, participation and power in the school system. Of interest to many of my students has also been Chapter 4, on emotional intelligence. Lastly, Chapter 8 on The Practice of Leadership in the Messy World of Organizations provides an very good introduction to alternative leadership discourses represented in the ′business world′ by Alvesson and Sveningsson and the Critical Management Studies movement. -- Mrs Agnieszka Bates * drupal *
This is a good book to add to my list for the student teachers as we aim to offer a conference focus of leadership each year on the programme.
I will also recommend this to our teaching school partners as part of their CPD framework for aspiring leaders. -- Mrs Catherine Carden * drupal *
The context of this text, most notably the wealth of articles contained, has the potential to engender some lively classroom debate amongst educational professionals. -- Mrs Hazel Beadle * drupal *
a complex book that shows a depth to leadership -- Mrs Karen Cooke * drupal *
This text is particularly suited to our postgraduate course. The book provides in-depth discussion, addressing a variety of key challenges for those in or studying towards Educational Leadership. -- Mrs Marie Dey * drupal *

This is a very useful book and address some key elements. the case studies were very useful. -- Ms Yvonne Diggins * drupal *
