The book provides a comprehensive theoretical as well as practical foundation to leadership, by practitioners who write from direct, valuable experience. The chapters on ethics, working in different teams and dealing with tricky situations, selling services and managing well- being, cover key current issues, and whether one agrees with all the ideas that are described or not, the book raises the right questions. All credit to the authors for producing a much needed book, of value to principals, would-be  leaders, and all those engaged in the serious study and practice of educational psychology leadership.\" - Irvine Gersch, Emeritus Professor and joint originator of the first leadership courses at the University of East London   \"This is an overdue text on the nature of leadership within Educational Psychology Services and it provides, with its sections on ‘Reflections’ and ‘Practical themes’, a wealth of ideas and resources which should prove invaluable to current and future leaders within EP Services. The range of resources offers leaders ways of conceptualising current concerns they may face in their role, including models, checklists and process frameworks. The variety of topics is vast but I welcome particularly the chapter considering Women in Leadership and also the chapter that discusses dealing with tricky work-based situations. Both these subjects are not particular to EP Services and therefore the book has the potential to inform a much wider audience. I would recommend this book to all who are interested in the development of Educational Psychology Services.\" - Dr. Jane Leadbetter, Tutor in Educational Psychology and Senior Educational Psychologist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Contributors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 1 Reflections \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction to Leadership: The Context of Managing Educational Psychology Services (EPSs) 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJulia Hardy, Charmian Hobbs and Mohammed Bham\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Leadership Frameworks: Models Past, Present and Hopes for the Future 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVikki Jervis and Julia Hardy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Ethical Selfhood and Team Awareness: The Role of Reflexivity in Leadership 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTara Midgen and Theodora Theodoratou\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Managing Change in an Educational Psychology Service 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJanet Crawford\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Women in Leadership 65\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCharmian Hobbs and Mandy Owen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Inspiring Leadership and Outward‐Facing Leadership for Community Educational Psychology Services 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKevin Rowland and Poppy Chandler\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 2 Practical Themes \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e99\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Understanding Your Organisation: Where to Start as a Leader 101\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJulia Hardy and Mohammed Bham\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Using Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as a Solution-Focussed Approach to Organisational Change in Two Educational Psychology Services 115\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnna Lewis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Recruitment and Retention: Building a Team and Services 135\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMohammed Bham and Mandy Owen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Educational Psychology Leadership within a Welsh Context 145\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJoy Mitchell and Ffion Edwards Ellis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Working in Different Leadership Teams with EPs and Others: Dealing with Tricky Situations 161\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarriet Martin and Melernie Meheux\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Selling Educational Psychology Services 175\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJulia Hardy, Jacqui Braithwaite and Rhona Hobson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Using Evaluation to Deliver Effective Psychology 189\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJames Gillum and Juliet Whitehead\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Support Mechanisms for Educational Psychologists in Leadership, Keeping It Going and Managing Your Well‐Being 197\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJulia Hardy and Mohammed Bham\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 211\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407103631703,"sku":"9781119628606","price":15.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119628606.jpg?v=1730498188","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/leadership-for-educational-psychologists-9781119628606","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
