'This text is another contribution in the Master Classes in Education Series, which seeks to address the professional development needs of education managers and also those working in the fields of health promotion and youth work ... The appeal of this handbook lies in its simplicity, its practical exercises and its thoroughness within such a short compass. Its realism stems from its grounding in the reality of everyday school life. The authors have worked closely with teachers and school managers. Reflecting on School Management is a neat example of how the best educational research is informing, and being informed by, what is actually happening in our schools and classrooms.' - The Times Educational Supplement
