About
Dr Mari-Ana Jones is Associate Professor in Organisation and Leadership in the Education Sector at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). At NTNU, Dr Jones leads the Educational Leadership team, and has responsibility for the national headteacher training programme and the Master’s in Educational Leadership.
