AlbakiReads Editorial

Rethinking educational leadership

Edited by John Smyth, this collection brings together original papers that question behaviourist and functionalist approaches to educational leadership. Its contributors examine how school structures and organisational processes can frustrate or constrain educative relationships, and use that focus to reconsider how leadership is understood and practised. The book places leadership within the conditions of school life, connecting ideas about administration with the relationships and work those structures shape.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers studying educational leadership and school administration.
  • For educators and researchers interested in organisational structures and relationships in schools.

Book overview

This book is an edited collection of original papers which challenge in a very direct manner the dominant behviourist and functionalist views that have come to entrap those who live, work and conduct research in the areas of educational leadership, and focusing instead on the structures and processes within schools as organisations that frustrate, distort and ultimately stifle educative relationships the writers provide a much needed way of reconceptualising both thought and action in so-called acts of educational leadership.
