The result is that many policies in many areas hinder rather than facilitate appropriate solutions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, by showing that the dynamics of crises in educational sustainability have many similarities to those of global systems, this book argues that the adoption of a number of core practices and values can help educational leaders develop greater sustainability, not only in their own area of activity but can also help them make a valuable contribution to greater sustainability at the global level as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Bottery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472568257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472568250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Mike Bottery","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935479136511,"sku":"9781472568250","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_220af712-ba6c-4264-a755-f42a5993aa3d.jpg?v=1681420042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/educational-leadership-for-a-more-mike-bottery-9781472568250","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
