Reinventing School Leadership for Lasting Reform in the Third Millennium

The span of fifteen years’ research divides into three periods of five years. The first, from 1983 to 1987, was based on studies of school effectiveness in a Project of National Significance in Australia. The outcome was a model for management centred on learning and teaching that formed the basis of training programs for parents, principals and teachers in Victoria, culminating in a book called The Self-Managing School (Caldwell and Spinks 1988).
