International Studies in Educational Administration (ISEA) Journal

ISEA has been publishing high quality research articles in the field of educational leadership from across the world for over four decades. It seeks contributions that advance our understanding of the successful management and leadership of educational institutions from early childhood to post compulsory settings in any country of the world. Whilst membership of CCEAM is mainly throughout Commonwealth countries, the circulation of ISEA is global. 

International Studies in Educational Administration aims to publish three times a year online by the Commonwealth Council for Educational Administration and Management.
