Reviews for Theories of Educational Leadership and Management

Theories of Educational Management and Leadership presents a range of conceptual frameworks and educational management models and practices to education managers, practitioners, and scholars. The book takes into consideration different contexts and cultures rather than imposing one particular approach or model to fill in the gap between theory and practice in educational management. The volume prompts its readers to compare and contrast a range of educational leadership models and to decide which apply to various contexts. This book will be of value to academics and practitioners in the field of educational management, as it rigorously supports the explanation of educational management models with authentic examples from across the world and with evidence from current studies carried out in the education field. -- Arzu Akkaya
