This book provides the theoretical and analytical resources for an
urgent rethinking of the social project of educating and
educational leading. It examines what educational leadership is,
namely the politics and power of leadership as a practice, and what
it can and should be, offering a pedagogical and praxis-informed
approach to educational practice. Drawing on research conducted at
various Australian schools and education districts, it argues for a
reframing of educational leadership as pedagogical practice/praxis
to transform theorising and practice in the field. The book
provides a rich account of educational leading through a practice
lens, bringing into dialogue the theory of practice architectures
with site ontologies, Bourdieu's thinking tools and feminist
critical scholarship. The book tracks the practices and praxis of
educational leaders as they grapple with the changing landscape and
forces of educational policies that have informed Australian
education. It reimagines education leadership by integrating
Continental and Northern European understandings of pedagogy and
praxis as being morally and ethically informed, as opposed to the
narrower Anglophone notions of pedagogy as teaching and learning.
The book adds to the body of knowledge on the "actual work of
leadership" as a "distinct set of practices" that is morally and
ethically informed. Readers will find a more holistic understanding
of educational leadership practice and praxis, based on the
everyday accounts of educational leaders, teachers and students in
schools and education districts.
