Key Issues in relation to Leading and Managing Educational Change: Professional Development in Secondary School

Abstract:

Currently, the system of education is in the middle of unprecedented change, and the rate of change is expediting. The role of policymakers, school administrators, principals and educators will be different in the future than previous and current times in terms of beliefs, values and views at things. The rapid changing world is making present knowledge and methods of teaching out of date much faster (Ball, 2012). If current teaching is not out of date, it will be so in the expected future. In order to conform to this change, the constant professional development of teachers is necessary.
