Reviews
From the reviews:
“Denise Armstrong has done an excellent job in bringing together theory and practice in this book. … Armstrong gives a compelling picture of the transitions that have to be made as teachers move into more formal leadership positions. … I would recommend it because … the way that it draws together work on transition and suggests new ways of looking at the way transitions happen. … It is certainly a book that I would recommend both to postgraduate students and teachers in schools.” (Megan Crawford, Educational Review, November, 2011)Authors and Affiliations
