`Leaders and Leadership in Education makes a significant contribution to
improvement literature. It will challenge school managers taking headship and
leadership qualifications, or any reader with a serious interest in
reconceptualising leadership for learning' - TES Friday Magazine

`Leaders and Leadership in Education is a well-documented account of how
leadership has been studied and therefore presented. For academic readers it
is valuable as an insightful and critical text' - Journal of In-Service
Education

`Helen Gunter's book makes a significant contribution to the existing
literature on leadership in education.... For anyone who has an interest in
current thinking about leadership and in reconceptualizing leadership for
learning, this book will be of great interest' \- Educational Research

Leadership within educational settings is widely regarded as essential for
organizational effectiveness and the improvement of learning outcomes.

Through an extensive review of theory and practice, Helen M Gunter explores
the contested field of leadership studies. She describes and critiques the
different contributions made by:

\- critical studies

\- education management

\- school effectiveness

\- school improvement

Leadership is examined as function, as behaviour and as leadership
relationship, from students as leaders, through to headteachers. The author
provides an up-to-date review of current thinking about leadership, which
challenges the reader to engage with and develop alternative ways of thinking
about their own leadership.

This book is essential reading for practitioners on Masters and EdD courses
and NPQH/LPSH training, and for anyone committed to teaching and learning.
