Greenfield on Educational Administration
This collection is a representative set of ten of the key papers which Thomas Greenfield, arguably the doyen of contemporary theories of educational administration, has published over the last twenty years. His writings as they appear are eagerly sought after and studied by scholars, students and practitioners in Britain and across the English-speaking world, but are not always readibly available individually. The collection charts the development of Greenfield's views of social reality as human invention, and explores strands of argument on the nature of knowledge, on admininstrative theory and research, on values, on the limits of science and the importance of human subjectivity, truth and reality. The volume is concluded by a discussion between Greenfield and Peter Ribbins, which reflects on Greenfield's career and elaborates on the range of his complex and often controversial ideas.

Verwaltete Schule
Seit dem letzten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden Politik und Verwaltung als Steuerungszentrum der Gesellschaft grundlegend in Frage gestellt. Unter dem Begriff der ‚Governance’ setzte man neu auf Kooperation und Selbstregulierung sowie auf eine schlanke Bürokratie. Diese Entwicklung brachte nicht nur neue Techniken der Steuerung des Bildungswesens hervor, sondern führte auch zu einer Neubewertung der Rolle von Expertise im Steuerungsprozess. Der neue Band der Reihe 'Educational Governance' fragt daher, inwiefern sich das Verhältnis von Politik, Verwaltung und Schule historisch verschoben hat und gegenwärtig weiter verschiebt, ob in den Entwicklungen Brüche oder auch Kontinuitäten zu erkennen sind und wie diese gedeutet werden können.
School Improvement
School improvement is at the centre of educational reform and is perceived by many as a key to social and economic advance. It contributes to determining the personal fulfilment and career paths of individual students and consequently engages the interest of parents and community members. It is an ever-present commitment of teachers and managers in schools. Policy makers and politicians at international, national and local levels devote much time and effort to their search for better schools. School improvement has also attracted the attention of researchers and scholars in many countries. They have been drawn from various disciplines and fields within the educational studies community, incl...
