Brown, Marie; Rutherford, Desmond; Boyle, Bill
School Effectiveness and School Improvement, v11 n2 p237-58 Jun 2000
A UK study shadowed and interviewed 32 secondary-school department heads to identify their leadership/management styles; sense of empowerment; and initiatives for and obstacles to improving teaching, learning, and achievement in classrooms. Shared power among senior and middle managers in UK schools is rare; training must change radically. (Contains 41 references.) (MLH)
