This book encourages the commitment of teachers and parents, in order to develop responsible, self reliant and knowledgeable young people with great leadership skills. Although the books main focus is on the development of the child and their leadership skills, it also has a subtle approach to the development of the teacher and parent.

The book aims to:

• examine the principles of leadership from the teachers perspective
• look in to what leadership means to children and how they can be educated to be better leaders
• explore and strengthen existing good practice in schools, developing what teachers do in the classroom and its impact on leadership.

In this book Hilarie Owen shares her extensive knowledge and experience with teachers and parents alike, enabling them to develop leadership talent and pass these skills on to children of all ages.

Reviews

I think this book would be widely welcomed in English speaking countries and probably elsewhere. It would be of considerable interest to headteachers and teachers generally and would add to the thinking about personalised education. We tend to have a limited view of the leadership abilities children and young people can develop and there is much to be said for expanding our thinking on this subject. It would also be of interest to the student market and to teacher trainers.

I think this is a very promising proposal and I would certainly recommend that you publish this book. I look forward to reading it! Joan Dean

I the book should be published, if its main drive and energy is in offering guidance to educators in an experiential way, and if it takes forward what is already being achieved in this area. Elizabeth Holmes
