Review Quotes:
"Networking is emerging as a major theme in policy and in practice there is much greater local cluster activity, much of it stimulated by the National College for School Leadership. It is very clear that schools are a) not good at it and b) there is a quite specific need for support, guidance and professional development in this area."
Professor John MacBeath, Chair of Educational Leadership, University of Cambridge, UK
"This book proposal makes a clear case for the topic in terms of policy and practice within educational systems nationally and internationally. The book as outlined clearly meets different needs of professionals i.e. the need for a theoretical framework, practical activities and accounts of practice. It will would useful to a range of professionals especially those in leadership positions. I would recommend its publication."
