Abstract

"Legal Standards and Professional Judgment in Educational Leadership - LEXEL, 2015" examined how leaders at various levels in the education system interpret and enforce legislation when they are working with adapted education, the students' psychosocial environment and special education. The project addressed key aspects of the legalization of the education system and the increased importance legal standards have gained through national supervision. The study was organized into three subprojects aimed at: a) identifying guides and tools designed to help local level in the interpretation of legal standards; B) explore how legal standards are transformed into professional action locally; C) explore the implementation of national supervision in light of the rules of law.
