Leadership for quality and accountability in education

This book addresses the interconnected issues of quality and accountability within the education system and provides a coherent framework within which these can be analysed.

The key focus is on the role of leadership in developing strategies in relation to quality and accountability that will enhance learning outcomes.

Drawing on research evidence and addressing the most recent quality frameworks that operate in educational contexts, the authors consider: the underlying nature of the terms quality and accountability and the ways in which these terms have been employed both nationally and globally; the central themes within this global shift towards a culture of quality and accountability; and the impact of these developments on educational organisations in all phases.
