Description

Product Description In a rapidly changing world with threats to the sustainability of the environment, societies, institutions and the people within them, a crucial question for educational leaders needs to be: What are these threats to sustainability, and how does the role of the educational leader need adapting to meet them through this century? Mike Bottery unpacks this question by examining how major terms in the field are used, mis-used, or mis-understood, before looking specifically at five covert threats: wicked problems, positive feedback, exponential growth, inappropriate degrees of connectivity, and tipping points. He looks at the impact these threats have upon sustainability at micro-, meso-, and macro- levels, and how understanding and meeting these threats needs to change the educational leader’s thought, values, and practice. Bottery argues that such awareness should not only change the focus of educational institutions, but also the focus of those inspecting such institutions. Such recognition then needs to become part of the cultural zeitgeist of present-day societies if future generations are to inherit a sustainable world. In so doing, The Educational Leader in a World of Covert Threats provides an original, timely and essential re-think of the educational leader’s role which makes it unique in the educational leadership literature. Review …this is an excellent book, bringing together some of the major issues of our time, in a way that is both intellectually rigorous yet readable … This book has huge breadth and depth… I am delighted that I was able to read this now. I think the book will have a profound impact in the area of leadership in education. --Megan Crawford, Professor in the Centre for Global Learning: Education and Attainment (GLEA), Coventry University, UK About the Author Mike Bottery is Emeritus Professor of Education at the University of Hull, UK. He has published widely on issues of educational leadership, values and sustainability, including the highly-regarded Educational Leadership for a More Sustainable World (Bloomsbury, 2016) and (with Wong Ping Ho and George Ngai) Sustainable School Leadership (Bloomsbury, 2018).
