Opis

This text brings together the academic fields of educational leadership, educational administration, strategic change management, and indigenous education in order to provide a critical, multi-perspective, systems level analysis of the provision of education services to indigenous people. It draws on a range of theorists across these fields internationally, mobilising social exchange and intelligent complex adaptive systems theories to address the key problematic of intergenerational, educational failure.
