Evidence has suggested that school improvement can be achieved if a school has a commitment to its community. By developing a deep and mutual relationship with people and organizations in the local community, a school gains not only information, knowledge and support but a sense of moral purpose. This book has been written in conjunction with the Community Education Development Centre (CEDC) and offers different approaches to educational leadership which are focused on community engagement and social regeneration. This practical book offers a re-consolidation of the principles and purposes of school's role in community education and leadership. This invaluable book will be welcomed by all head teachers, deputy head teachers, middle managers and students on education management courses.
