Beskrivning
This book will address the leadership challenge of creating an environment for the development needs of 21st century students. These students need to be globally aware, flexible in approach, and to develop transferable, multi-skills across a wide spectrum of employment opportunities. They also need to be numerate, have highly defined social and communication skills and have an Information and Communication Technology skill base embedded within all that they do. In order to create the appropriate learning environment, every organisation must address as a first priority the way it is led. Schools must second guess needs for the future and put robust structures in place to facilitate those needs. This book will show how such a culture change is possible, note the barriers encountered and the successes achieved, both within schools and other organisations.Schools are one member of a group partnership with parents, employers, society and the students themselves - all of whom are charged with making this change happen. For this reason, the book looks at a number of business organisations to see what leadership lessons can be learned by both sides in this process of transformation.

Recensioner i media

"Anyone who knows Patrick Hazlewood and St John's School will have high expectations of any book which charts the complex and demanding journey that the school has been on in the last 10 years. This book doesn't disappoint. It tackles an area of huge significance -how can schools prepare our young people for the challenging futures that they will face in the 21st century? At least part of the answer lies in how the school is lead. The management and leadership structures within the school and the 'collegiality' - relationships between colleagues - which is fostered." Lesley James, Head of Education, RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts), February 2009
