Education leadership has been subject to a period of turmoil with rapid social change, political demands for excellence, economic pressures for austerity and the influence of technology impacting on leadership roles in multiple ways. This book draws on real examples of practice to identify the key challenges facing educational leadership and how these might be overcome drawing on recent research and interventions that have impacted positively on learner outcomes and teacher retention. Covering all aspects of leadership including school improvement, vision and values, working with partners and leading change, the book launches the concept of atomic leadership, advocating small steps to change for maximum momentum and large-scale impact. It reveals how leaders can cooperate to trial new ways of learning and disseminate their successes and failures with a new honesty and openness about what works in our schools. With reflective tasks in every chapter, this text will inspire debate and inform discussion at staff meetings and is essential reading for all school leaders as well as those undertaking master-level courses in educational leadership and or pursuing the National Professional Qualifications in leadership.

This booklet explores the major issues involved in creating effective leadership for today's schools. It summarizes the deliberations of 43 participants involved in a 2-day forum on educational leadership. Participants included superintendents, principals, and teachers from urban, suburban, and rural school districts, as well as prominent researchers in education leadership, state policymakers, education consultants, professional development specialists, education officials, and others. The forum used a seminar approach in which leading practitioners and researchers made brief presentations that included information about successful schools and districts; the presentations were followed by discussions that focused on select questions, such as What is the definition of an effective leader for today's schools? and Which practices do successful leaders use to improve teaching and learning? The forum found that educational leaders' jobs are changing dramatically and that today's schools demand new kinds of skills and knowledge from leaders, including skills that many current educators have not mastered. Successful districts around the U.S. are testing new models of leadership that bring together superintendents and others to do cross-role work on improving instruction. Some newer, effective models for professional development give people practical opportunities to build instructional leadership and other important skills in real school contexts. Contains a list of participants. (RJM)
