Abstract

Although
there is abundant literature on school leadership and management, including the
important books by Doyle and Zakrajsek dealing with epistemological,
content-oriented and technical aspects of educational neuroscience, and
learning addressed to college students, and works by Wilson & Conyers
(2013) and Linda Lyman (2013) that specifically spoke to teachers and
educational leaders, there is significant debate about the value of brain
science research for education and educational leadership, The book described
here relates to the developments of brain science research and its connection
to teaching/learning, and the basic and essential technology of the processes
that schools promote, when the school principal's work is expected to be directed
to ensuring high-quality teaching-learning  
In the editor’s words, this book “emerged as a culminating project
requiring real learning that would be a real challenge and by filling a gap
could make a real difference

Keywords
