Research is clear: School leadership quality matters. However, our
knowledge of effective school leadership remains limited in at
least three substantial ways. First, our understanding of school
leadership effectiveness generally and school principal
effectiveness specifically is limited to Western contexts,
primarily North America and western European ones. Second, even in
the confines of Western research and context, there has been
relatively little specific focus on effectively leading
low-performing schools. Third, even the conceptualization of
leadership-do we mean the school principal, an administrative team,
or a broader school leadership team-is a key factor in how we
define and respond to the challenge of leading in low-performing
schools. This book advances discussion and disseminates knowledge
and global perspectives on what school leadership looks like, how
it is enacted and under what circumstances, and when or where
lessons might be portable. We anticipate this book having wide
appeal for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners considering
school leadership and how to support it effectively. The chapters
suggest a noticeable level of convergence globally on how to lead
low-performing schools effectively. Yet, there are clear political
and culture differences that add significant gradation to how
school leaders might enact best practice locally or inform
policymakers and systems leaders about how to set up school leaders
for success and subsequently support them. This book is one of the
first that prioritizes the universality and nuance of leading
low-performing schools globally.
