The book explores the role of school leaders in leading curriculum development and accelerating progress for disadvantaged children in schools, as well as effective deployment of teaching assistants\/leadership for inclusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchool collaboration, partnerships, and \"system leadership\" are also important aspects of school leadership and management. The book explores the ways in which schools can work together to improve their performance and achieve their goals, including through collaboration with other schools, partnerships with external organizations, and leadership for system-wide improvement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecuring improvement at scale, across multiple schools and across localities, is another challenge facing school leaders. The book explores the ways in which school leaders can work together to achieve this, including through the use of evidence-based practices, data-driven decision-making, and continuous improvement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew conceptions of leadership, including ethical and invitational leadership, are also discussed in the book. Ethical leadership involves leading with integrity, respect, and empathy, while invitational leadership involves creating a positive and supportive environment for students and staff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchool Leadership and Education System Reform provides accessible but research and theory-informed chapters, each of which includes summaries and suggestions for further reading.
