Changing Leadership for Changing Times (Changing Education.) - Softcover

Envisioning the nature of schools of the future is more art than science. As a minimum, schools will need to be able to thrive on uncertainty, have considerably greater capacities for collective problem solving than they do at present, and meet a much wider array of student needs. "Changing Leadership for Changing Times" examines the types of leadership that are likely to be productive in creating and sustaining schools of the future. Based on a long term study of 'transformational' leadership in school restructuring contexts, the chapters in this book offer a highly readable account of such leadership grounded in a substantial body of empirical evidence.

All three authors work in the Centre for Leadership Development, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto.
