{"product_id":"governance-of-schooling","title":"Governance of Schooling","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecent reforms in the governance of schooling have affected roles, relationships and decision-making within schools and between them and the wider community. Using empirical and theoretical approaches this book describes, analyses and compares the effects of devolved management on secondary schools in a number of countries. It casts a critical light upon policy assumptions and aims, challenging assumptions about the way policy works in practice.\u003cbr\u003e Through a comparative international perspective, which looks at countries including the UK and the US, the conflicting options for school governance are addressed. These include:\u003cbr\u003e *parental participation and school management policy\u003cbr\u003e *professional, managerial and market principles in education\u003cbr\u003e *school-based decision-making and the implications of overarching government policies\u003cbr\u003e *devolution and centralisation.\u003cbr\u003e This is a timely study for practitioners in education, policy-makers in local and central government, academics and students of education policy and management.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542793707758,"sku":"9780415195386","price":89.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415195386.jpg?v=1720135137","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/governance-of-schooling","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
