Abstract

Case study material from research in the University of Nottingham School of Education records how headteachers try to manage an LEA scheme to implement the 'special needs' objectives of the 1981 Act. A headteacher discusses the management challenges she faces and her responses to the problems presented. Maray problems arise from uncertain and, apparently, chance relationships. The article considers recent theoretical work on the significance of 'chance' and its relevance for management.
