The members of the Educational Leadership, Management and Governance Cluster, Mike Fertig, Janet Goodall and I, have been very busy in this last month or so with research, publications, conferences and various other research-related events.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mike and I, along with Tristan Bunnell, have been developing our work on the institutionalisation of International Schools. We have had an article accepted for the Oxford Review of Education and are working on other articles. We presented aspects of that work at the Alliance for International Education Conference in Bangkok earlier in the spring and at the AERA Annual Meeting in Washington in early April. Both papers went down extremely well. Mike also gave a presentation on \u2018International School Principal Recruitment\u2019 at the Bangkok conference. Mike and I have a chapter in press in a collection edited by our colleagues, Mary Hayden and Jeff Thompson.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Janet has been very busy developing her work on parental engagement in schools \u2013 with a number of exciting projects ongoing and various journal articles in the pipeline. The parental engagement tool-kit is a particularly interesting development. Janet and I are amongst the authors of article on the governance of FE Colleges, with Ron Hill and Colin Forest which we are revising for re-submission.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of our cluster research students, Melissa Hawkins and I presented a paper on the place of complexity in educational organisation theory at the AERA Annual meeting, and again it was very well received. We\u2019re developing that work for a proposal for another conference paper \u2013 the UCEA Conference in Detroit in November \u2013 and a journal article. Mel successfully completed her PhD confirmation process yesterday, subject to final Board of Studies approval, which is great news.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been busy in the last month \u2013 AERA as always was excellent; an article on head teacher performance management\u2019s been published in Education Review (DOI: 10.1080\/00131911.2016.1144560); and there are articles in press in Management in Education on the challenges facing the FE sector in England, in the Oxford Review \u2013 see above, and Educational Management, Administration and Leadership on the stakeholder model of school governing in England and Wales (http:\/\/ema.sagepub.com\/content\/early\/recenthttp:\/\/ema.sagepub.com\/content\/early\/recent) \u2013 very timely given what the White Paper has to say about parents on academy governing boards. The research we\u2019re doing with the National Governors Association and York St John University on Primary School Head teacher recruitment is progressing well. The adult ego development and school leadership research also continues to develop very promisingly. Colleague Sam Carr and research student Neil Gilbride are working on that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And finally, I\u2019ve recently heard that the piece Izhar Oplakta from Tel Aviv University and I had published in Management in Education last year entitled \u2018An exploration of the notion of the \u2018Good Enough\u2019 School\u2019, has been awarded the BELMAS MiE Best Article Prize for 2015 \u2013 excellent news!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
