Create a flyer for "Educational Leadership"

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.

An excellent resource for our M.Ed leadership students

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

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.

good book but hard to complete with Hargreaves and others in this field

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.

Accessible, liked chapter 7 perspectives.

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.

a complex book that shows a depth to leadership

This is a very useful book and address some key elements. the case studies were very useful.

The context of this text, most notably the wealth of articles contained, has the potential to engender some lively classroom debate amongst educational professionals.
