`The Essentials of School Leadership contains many of my favourite writers on educational leadership, Brian Caldwell, Brent Davies, Brenda Beatty, Andy Hargreaves, Kenneth Leithwood, Robert Starratt and Linda Lambert. I like to keep fresh by following their thinking, and I wasn't disappointed, finding writing that is insightful and mostly practical' - Professor David Loader, Australian College of Educators
`The jewels in the book are the opening and closing chapters by Brent and Barbara Davies on "strategic" leadership, any by Andy Hargreaves on "sustainability" leadership. The book is worth buying for those alone, and for Geoff Southworth's reflective, practical piece on "learning-centred" leadership. This is one for the staffroom library' - Tim Brighouse, TES Friday Magazine
`Educational reform is entering a new phase. In many educational systems there is a move from 'national prescription', which has produced significant gains in the short term to a focus on 'schools leading reform'. Here the promise is of more sustainable development in the medium term, but this is crucially dependent on the quality of school leadership.
In his new book The Essentials of School Leadership, Brent Davies and his collaborators offer us a comprehensive, reflective yet eminently practical review of the approaches to school leadership that underpin the continuing rise in educational standards and the building of professional capacity in our schools' - David Hopkins, Chief Adviser on School Standards, Department for Education and Skills
`At the very time when leadership is recognized as the key to sustainable reform, Brent Davies' The Essentials of School Leadership is right on the mark.This is a comprehensive, powerful treatment of all core elements of new leadership from the ethical to the political, from the emotional to the entrpreneurial. A must-have compendium for those grappling with the present and future of school leadership' - Michael Fullan, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Canada
A joint publication with Corwin Press and NSTA (National Science Teachers Association) Press
