The Oxford Encyclopedia of Educational Administration

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Educational Administration

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Educational Administration provides a global overview of the expansive, ever-evolving body of research in educational administration and leadership, considered across educational contexts. The field of educational administration is truly complex and, in the work of effectively leading schools, administrators must address pressures from governments, community members, educators, unions, and students, among other groups. The encyclopedia serves as a distillation of the vast streams of research being generated in the field, as well as a source of critical analysis that will help practitioners and scholars to make better sense of the competing interests that they encounter in their daily work. All of the articles appear online as part of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Education.
