Books by Sue Swaffield

This book brings together a collection of inquiries into the connections between educational leadership, understood as an activity that can be performed by both educators and students, and professional learning, understood as an activity undertaken by educators to improve teaching and learning within educational settings.

Reassesses the purpose of schools, the nature of learning and the qualities of leadership that make schools authentic places of learning. This work offers five principles for practice: a focus of learning; an environment for learning; a learning dialogue; shared leadership; and accountability internal and external.
