Bücher der Reihe Transforming Education Through Critical Leadership, Policy and Practice

Understanding Decision-Making in Educational Contexts presents 'problem cases' confronting school leaders in real settings, and illustrates the multiple approaches that school leaders draw upon to navigate complex and challenging decision-making contexts.

Divided into three sections, this volume firstly seeks to explore social contexts of educational leadership. The second section explores the experiences of educational leaders in various contexts, while the third section of this volume looks at the consequences, unintended and otherwise, of the neoliberal commodification of education.

Never have policy initiatives been so important than in today's society. Neoliberal manifestations, climate change, civil rights movements, and governmental reactions to these issues have created a backdrop where greater education in policy analysis and development is vital.

In an era characterized by high levels of attrition, burnout and stress, Hauseman proposes communal strategies and policy levels to support school-level leaders' emotional regulation and wellbeing.
