This comprehensive book provides a theoretical understanding of how
imagination contributes to effective leadership, as well as
practical tools all educational leaders can employ to cultivate
their imaginations and the imaginations of others in their
communities. To support these goals, book chapters offer multiple
perspectives on what imagination is, why it is essential for
educational leaders, and how it can be developed. Contributions by
leadership scholars and school-based leaders are organized around
three themes: exploring possibilities, poetics of memory, and
imagination's role in social justice and equity. Each section opens
with a leadership story that shows how a school leader developed
and used imagination to create solutions to real problems.
Contributors to this volume were invited to read each other's work
and share their questions and thoughts. This work can now be used
by individuals or within formal or informal learning communities to
expand, deepen and, apply concepts. Expanding on Kieran Egan's
theory of Imaginative Education, this book will help current and
future leaders employ imagination to make sense of and address the
day-to-day challenges they encounter. Book Features: Brings
together empirical and conceptual research on imagination's varied
roles in educational leadership. Provides practical strategies and
implementable techniques for cultivating leadership imagination.
Demonstrates what cognitive tools all leaders can use to deepen
their understanding of issues; to emotionally and imaginatively
engage their school communities; and to support equity, diversity,
and inclusion. Offers easy-to-use activities and guidelines for
applying imagination to key leadership processes and practices.
Includes Cultivating Curiosity, Conversation, and Imagination
sections at the end of chapters to stimulate individual reflection
and collaborative discussion.
