Reihe: The Education Adviser

An ideal book for new or prospective education advisers which focuses on organisational development in education. It offers essential background reading for anyone involved in advising within the education system.

Divided into three sections, this book details the specifics of advising on organisational development in the context of change, planning for organisational effectiveness, and the impact of leadership on performance. As a contributed volume, it presents a diverse range of perspectives from MAT leaders, headteachers, key influences, and education advisers at local, regional, national and international levels. Each chapter concludes with the author's analysis of the impact and differences made, resulting in a thorough, insightful, and practical text. These case scenarios also encourage readers to reflect and consider integrating these approaches to their own practice.

Chapter contents include:

• empowering leadership through effective organisational development;

• future proofing your school;

• responding to and working with political change;

• making change work for your school;

• the importance of governance in sustaining organisational improvement;

• the role of organisational development within the school setting.
