About this book
Reviews
“Great teachers are first great listeners. The authors in this collection have had the opportunity to listen and to learn from schooling sites around the world. They’ve brought that privilege and that experience to this book. Paraphrasing part of the liturgy of one religion – If you are interested in being less of what you used to be and more of what you ought to be – then this is guidance in the shift from managing schools to leading learning. A welcome summary that deserves attention – and action. All premised on the analysis of these experts.” (Dale Mann, Professor Emeritus, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA and Managing Director, Interactive, Inc.)
“With shared teacher, school and system leadership now acutely recognized as critical factors in explaining high performing Learning Systems, this impressive international volume on Leading Learning in schools could not be more timely. Tony Townsend brings together a collection of compelling international authors who reveal the importance of leadership competencies for complexity, new approaches to leadership learning, the conditions which enable the shared leadership of learning and the significance of the impact of leadership on learning.” (Anthony Mackay, President and CEO of the National Center for Education and the Economy, USA)
