History of Educational Leadership/Management
Open accessAbstract
Leadership and management in education first began as a field of study and training in the United States, where it moved through several distinct periods with quite differing orientations. Most controversial of these was that of the Theory Movement whose pursuit of a science of administration dominated the three decades of the mid-twentieth century. This period saw abstract theories of educational administration develop rather independently of changes in the social context of schooling, such as the impact of the Civil Rights movement. It also saw the field become divorced from educational concerns over changes in curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment. Challenges to this tradition emerged in the British Commonwealth where differing perspectives led to emphases on interpretive approaches and a reconnection with educational concerns. Contemporary work in the field exhibits an increasing plethora of differing approaches.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
