Biography
Anit Somech is Associate Professor and Head of the Educational Leadership and Policy Department in the Faculty of Education, University of Haifa, Israel.
Izhar Oplatka is Professor of Educational Administration and Leadership in the School of Education, Tel Aviv University, Israel.
'What makes this book special, is that Somech and Oplatka draw together the individual and the organisational factors which make up the capacity of a school to become and remain effective and, importantly, point to the need to focus on the cognitive and emotional health of both if children and young people of school age are to receive the high quality education to which all are entitled. Whilst the reader will find no solutions to the continuing quest for raising and sustaining teacher commitment and quality, they will find in this book plenty of important signposts.' - Professor Christopher Day, University of Nottingham, UK
