This subject focuses on educational leadership and management at all levels within schools and school systems. Today, educational institutions reform, renew and transform through constant reconceptualisations of theory and practice. Principals, teachers and system administrators are expected to absorb, reflect upon, implement, review and evaluate any changes which may occur on a daily basis. Issues concerning school improvement and effectiveness, leadership, change, conflict, decision making, organisational growth, staff development, human resource management, community collaborations, learning communities and devolution will be explored and linked to successful, innovative practices.
