Description

Product 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, human geography will be attracted to this text. Review "Advocating intentional sensitivity within educational systems to 'situational contexts,' 'professional contexts,' 'material contexts,' and 'external contexts,' all of which encompass schools' history, intake (student/constituent sources), and setting in shaping respondent leadership roles, this text makes a case that education administrators should consider and respect the environmental influences surrounding individual school systems, rather than attempt to force artificial and universal forces of conformity (in the spirit of post-colonialism)." - D.
