Theories of Educational Leadership and Management

This fifth edition of Tony Bush’s bestselling text explores the links between educational management theories and the main models of leadership, and their application to policy and practice globally across varied educational contexts.

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.

This fifth edition of Tony Bush’s bestselling text explores the links between educational management theories and the main models of leadership, and their application to policy and practice globally across varied educational contexts.

This fully updated new edition is informed by an enhanced global perspective and expanded coverage of important contemporary issues including teacher leadership, professional learning communities, transformational leadership, instructional leadership and a critical assessment of distributed leadership.

This is essential reading for all teachers who aspire to management, as well as for experienced leaders on Masters’ level courses, and for those studying school management as part of education degrees.
