Synopsis: This text is for teachers, educational leaders in Master's courses, and those working toward degrees in education studies. The first two chapters define educational management and educational leadership and introduce six management models and 10 leadership models. In each of the next six chapters, the heart of the book, a major model of educational management is described and analyzed in terms of assumptions made about goals of educational institutions, the nature of organizational structure, the most appropriate modes of leadership, and links to leadership models. Coverage encompasses formal, collegial, political, subjective, ambiguity, and cultural models. This fourth edition includes new case studies from many different types of educational settings, from early years through higher education, and in international settings. New learning features include in-text definitions, summaries, and discussion questions. Bush teaches educational leadership at the University of Warwick.
