Based on the premise that learning is at the heart of leadership and that leaders themselves should be learners, the Leadership for Learning series explores the connections between educational leadership, policy, curriculum, human resources and accountability.

The leaders \u003cem\u003eof\u003c\/em\u003e learning – and the focus of this book – are those working at the school level to improve the quality of learning in the classroom, such as teachers, principals, pupils and involved members of the local school community. The leaders \u003cem\u003efor\u003c\/em\u003e learning are the policy-makers and administrators whose support is crucial.
