The pursuit of excellence is much discussed with reference to education, but the question remains, 'How can a school become excellent?' This book demonstrates that excellence depends on good management which, in turn, depends not only on a clear understanding of good management theory, but on the ability to translate theory into practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors offer profound insights into three crucial areas of leadership: culture, structure, and public accountability. Drawing on areas outside education, such as advertising and business, they discuss many innovations that are already current - flexitime, the vertical curriculum, mastery learning, community support - and depict ways in which these can be brought together into a total educational experience. More strikingly, however, they look ahead, examining the potential changes to our concept of schooling: for instance those brought about by the growth of information technology. This book emphasises that at the heart of outstanding schooling are visionary leadership, a clear sense of purpose, and creatively conceived and flexible support structures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46931406586007,"sku":"9781138545274","price":3215.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138545274.webp?v=1771613182","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/creating-an-excellent-school-some-new-management-techniques-9781138545274","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
