The key topics of educational leadership and management will be considered from both theoretical and practical perspectives, examining the differences between these concepts as they apply in the field. There will be an introduction to the importance of moral, educational and transformational leadership. Learning-centred leadership and system leadership will be defined and its main features discussed. The cultural context is also examined along with organisational structure, culture and power. Key matters of managing educational improvement and change are examined and attention given to strategies for managing change effectively. If improvement takes place, measurement of that improvement is part of the process. An introduction to the field of school improvement and effectiveness research, policy and practice will be provided and the key concepts of internal and external evaluation defined and differentiated from related concepts like monitoring and assessment.
