Description
In the rapidly evolving educational landscape of the United Kingdom, the journey of a leader from head teacher to Chief Executive Officer of a multi-academy trust offers a unique lens into the complexities of school leadership. Perspectives on a New Model of School Leadership: Building a Multi-Academy Trust delves into the multifaceted nature of leadership in schools, examining the interplay between policy, local leadership, and external influences.
The comprehensive approach of each chapter provides a rich tapestry of leadership stories and in-depth analysis, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of enacting a system of inter-independent schools working collaboratively. A chapter brings a perspective on the debates that prevail about the charter schools movement in the United States, reflecting on the similarities between this movement and the academies movement in England.
Contributing to the fields of policy, leadership agency, community relations, and system planning, Perspectives on a New Model of School Leadership offers valuable insights for scholars, leaders, policymakers, and leadership preparation programs, challenging prevailing assumptions and providing fresh perspectives on school leadership in changing times. By drawing on empirical evidence and personal reflections, the authors provide rare insights into the professional identity of school leaders and the far-reaching impact of a system approach to leadership.
