“…Our intention is to position the paper as an example of critical policy scholarship (Ball, 1990; Grace, 1995; Ozga, 2000) based on Ozga's (1987, p. 14) definition of research ‘rooted in the social science tradition, historically informed and drawing on qualitative and illuminative techniques’. Hence the approach taken is different from research that aims to measure whether leadership is working and develop strategies for how it might work better (see Currie et al ., 2005).…”

“…Implementing these ideas would result in a broad distribution of leadership responsibility to form a "community of leaders" within the school (Grace, 1995). This view is also taken by West et al (2000), in their depiction of "post-transformational leadership".…”

Then, it focuses on the growing importance placed on activities to prepare school leaders due to the ever-increasing responsibilities they are facing. In many countries, this has led to the design and implementation of extensive programs. In this paper, international trends in school leader development are identified. As regards the aims of the programs, it becomes obvious that they are increasingly grounded on a more broadly defined understanding of leadership, adjusted to the core purpose of school, and based on educational beliefs integrating the values of a democratic society.

“…Another reason for the faihire of the CTCs was that promises for private sector support never materialized In England (as in the U.S.) the historical separation of the schools and employers has proved difficult to bridge, and not even the CTC initiative, by a Conservative government, managed to do so 7See also the review of educational management in Power, Halpin, and Whitty (1997) and the research of Grace (1995).…”

Making Sense of Education and Training Markets: Lessons From England

Policy discussions in the United States around markets in education frequently lack an empirical base. However, for nearly twenty years reforms in England have emphasized market-like mechanisms to spur competition among providers and choices among consumers. We examine the research findings about English reforms in six areas. Supply-side reJbrms include efforts to enhance competition among institutions, to promote efficiency through subcontracting, and to mimic market incentives through perfor-mance_based funding. Demand-side rqforms include a variety of vouchers as well as other mechanisms to enhance parental and student choice, including access to information. Finally, we discuss several equilibrating mechanisms intended to bring demand and supply into equilibrium. The English examples clarify the limitations of the quasi-markets introduced under current conditions. However, they also raise the possibilities of designing policy around strong markets with more competent suppliers and demanders of education and training services, as a way of escaping the conventional dichotomy of institutional versus market reforms.Nt,.aa.
