- This long-form monograph addresses the current global orthodoxy that educational transformation can be achieved through centralised, performance-based strategies for school improvement. It adopts complex responsive processes theory to critique leadership myths and explore conceptions of educational transformation relative to different perspectives and different contexts. It yields critical insight to how practitioners negotiate ‘improvement’ in practice, and argues that educational transformation can occur between local interactions and policy design.
