Author Biography: Tony Bush

Book Synopsis

Bush (international and comparative education, U. of Reading) offers conceptual frameworks to guide the practice of educational leaders and managers. His goal is not only to promote greater understanding of the concepts underpinning effective leadership and management practice, but also to develop the capability of senior and middle level leaders in schools and colleges. The 1986 and 1990 editions were published by Paul Chapman Publishing; the third takes account of how the British Education Reform Act has been implemented.
