An overview of trends in the development of managers in the education and business sector. It considers trends including lifelong learning, professional standards, blended learning methods, coaching and the role of support networks.
The specific purpose of the review is twofold:
- to update knowledge about effective means of preparing and developing school leaders and managers drawn from studies of efforts undertaken globally over the 25 years
- to examine curricular trends in the education and development of business leaders and examine the implications they have for leaders and managers in schools
The paper concludes with an acknowledgement that education and business sectors differ in their fundamental purposes and that these differences do impact on some of the assumptions that underlie use of these management techniques.
