Educational Leadership: Personal Growth for Professional Development de Harry Tomlinson

Educational Leadership: Personal Growth for Professional Development: Published in association with the British Educational Leadership and Management Society

Autor Harry Tomlinson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mai 2004

Structura și metodologia acestui volum, Educational Leadership, sunt fundamentate pe premisa că managementul educațional de succes nu poate fi separat de evoluția personală a liderului. Considerăm că abordarea propusă de Harry Tomlinson este una atipică, deoarece nu începe cu strategii instituționale, ci cu autoguvernarea individului. Materialul este organizat într-o progresie logică de la micro la macro: prima parte explorează dimensiunea intra-personală (inteligența emoțională și modelarea excelenței), partea centrală se concentrează pe dinamicile de echipă și interpersonale (coaching și luarea deciziilor), iar secțiunea finală proiectează aceste competențe la nivelul întregii școli, abordând concepte precum organizația care învață sau echilibrul dintre viața profesională și cea personală.

Subliniem relevanța acestei ediții prin integrarea unor metodologii din afara spectrului pedagogic tradițional, precum Programarea Neuro-Lingvistică (NLP) sau Re-Engineering-ul proceselor de business, adaptate pentru contextul școlar. Reținem că, spre deosebire de lucrarea sa anterioară, Performance Management in Education, care se concentra pe mecanismele de evaluare și îmbunătățire a performanței, titlul de față prioritizează „cumulul” de abilități interne necesare pentru a susține acele mecanisme. Volumul reprezintă o alternativă la Developing as an Educational Leader and Manager de Megan Crawford pentru cursurile de management educațional, cu avantajul unei explorări mult mai tehnice a instrumentelor de autocunoaștere, precum testele psihometrice și feedback-ul la 360 de grade. Această lucrare, publicată în asociere cu British Educational Leadership and Management Society, transformă teoria leadershipului într-un set de exerciții practice și reflecții aplicate, esențiale pentru directorii de școli și personalul academic aflat în plină ascensiune profesională.

Despre autor

Harry Tomlinson ocupă o poziție distinctă în peisajul academic, fiind un autor care îmbină experiența practică de director de școală cu rigoarea cercetării educaționale. Lucrările sale publicate la SAGE Publications sunt puncte de referință în managementul educațional britanic, fiind recunoscute pentru pragmatismul lor. Deși biografia sa publică include și o carieră remarcabilă și neașteptată ca expert internațional în arta bonsaiului (autor al unor volume celebre de horticultură), în contextul pedagogic el rămâne un promotor al dezvoltării profesionale continue, fiind un membru activ și respectat al comunității de leadership educațional din Europa.

Descriere scurtă

'This wide-ranging and thought-provoking book provides an alternative approach to personal and professional leadership development. Although directed at headteachers, it has much to say to all staff irrespective of whether they are in formal positions of leadership. Given the increased attention to professional development, this is a timely publication, and will cause those who read it reflect as well as providing a wealth of approaches and ideas which can be used in their school' - Colin Parker, Headteacher of King Edward VI Aston School, Managing Schools Today
`This is an exceptionally good book that clearly brings together the author's experience as a headteacher and academic. Harry Tomlinson is an educationalist with deep insights into the personal development dimension of leadership. This is not your standard leadership book; instead it is a unique set of ideas, concepts and observations that comprehensively covers 'the how' of building leadership abilities.With twenty chapters, this is a significant resource for practitioners, leadership developers and academics' - Professor Brent Davies, International Journal Educational Management
`This is undeniably, a terrifically rich and well-researched text which could be the starting point for a variety of personal development journeys. It has enormous value in asserting the importance of personal growth as the foundation for professional development' - Times Education Supplement
`This book will undoubtedly help school leaders and potential leaders acquire a basic understanding of the essential elements in understanding themselves and others in the professional context' - Times Educational Supplement
There are many books about professional development for leaders in schools and teachers, particularly in the context of performance management. Though this book takes account of these, the focus is initially very much on personal development through self-understanding and self-management, because this has to be the basis for profound professional development.
This book provides an alternative approach to personal and professional leadership development. For the first time this wide range of topics has been covered in a book on educational leadership. Practical activities are included to encourage the learning process. The first part of the book looks at the individual and the personal learning, development of emotional intelligence and modeling excellence which provide the basis for professional development. In the middle chapters the author focuses on the interpersonal and team development processes such as career management, coaching and decision making. The concluding chapters explore issues at the school level but always concentrating on the individual leadership development required. These include major current concerns such as knowledge management, the learning organization and the work-life balance. The author reaches out to include evidence from beyond the world of schools and education in order to enhance understanding.
This book provides an in-depth resource and a learning opportunity for all those concerned with educational leadership.

Descriere

This book outlines personality and identity, motivation and reward strategies, the emotions of leadership and the values and ethics which underpin professional integrity. Using a practical but evidence-based approach, Harry Tomlinson outlines how to develop creativity, assertiveness and emotional intelligence using techniques such as neuro-linguistic programming to model excellence. The author shows how teachers can use work on effective people to develop their own performance and to develop high performance teams. The psychology of success, the new professional career model, and the new psychological contract with schools as learning organizations can all contribute to this.
At school level, the book includes coverage of
· strategic planning and future-thinking
· business process re-engineering
· organizational health, culture and climate
· schools as organizations,
· knowledge management
· benchmarking for professional development
· quality processes
This book is for all teachers who are determined to enhance their professionalism.
