The leadership of school principals is an enormously powerful
influence on the quality of schools and the learning of pupils.
While the work of principals has been examined intensively over the
past 20 years, almost no effort has been made to understand the
role from an international or cross-cultural perspective. This book
contributes significantly to our understanding of successful school
leaders by describing similarities and differences in the work of
such leaders in countries ranging from England to Australia, the
United States to Norway, Sweden to Hong Kong. Bringing together
case study research, the book helps explain what all successful
principals do and the ways in which context shapes some of their
work.
'The research reported in the book presents an interesting and
rich picture of successful principals in different socio-cultural
contexts and their reponses to national accountability policies.
This book will make an important contribution to the existing body
of knowledge about leadership practices.'
