Description

School Leadership in Diverse Contexts demonstrates the centrality of context to understanding school leadership. It offers varied portrayals of leadership in a diverse range of distinct settings. Each chapter highlights the prominence of context in understanding the realities of school leadership, focusing on issues and influences that school leaders face, strategies school leaders adopt to deal with the complexities of their work, and conceptualisations of school leadership relevant to the context.

An impressive array of international experts examine this neglected area of research by considering school leadership in nine heterogeneous contexts, providing rich and varied portrayals of school leadership and suggesting ways in which the leadership may be enhanced.

School Leadership in Diverse Contexts is an ideal book for undergraduate and postgraduate students, particularly those studying units in educational leadership, comparative education and educational policy. Similarly, undergraduate and postgraduate students engaged with development studies, history, sociology, law, and human geography will be attracted to this text.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

"Advocating intentional sensitivity within educational systems to 'situational contexts,' 'professional contexts,' 'material contexts,' and 'external contexts,' this book argues for school administrators to respect the unique environmental influences shaping leadership roles rather than imposing uniform solutions," notes D. D. Bouchard in CHOICE.
