Leading schools is becoming almost daily a more complex and
demanding job. Connecting Leadership and Learning reassesses the
purpose of schools, the nature of learning and the qualities of
leadership that make schools authentic places of learning. Starting
with a review of what we can claim to know - and not know - about
learning, leadership and their inter-relationship, this book
explores what it means to lead schools that place learning at the
centre. Drawing on research from seven different country projects -
including the United States, Australia and five European countries
- the authors offer five key principles for practice: a focus of
learning an environment for learning a learning dialogue shared
leadership accountability; internal and external. These key
principles have been tested by teachers, senior leaders and school
students and found to be applicable across cultural and linguistic
boundaries. The challenges faced by in inner city schools, whether
in London or New Jersey, prove a stern test for the five principles
yet, as these schools testify, they bring a new sense of hope and
resolve that learning is for everyone. Based on rigorous research
yet thoroughly grounded in practice, this book aims to challenge
the reader with big ideas about learning and leadership, and to
break new ground in thinking about where leadership and learning
meet so that practitioners can see how it works in school and
classroom practice. It should be of interest to all school leaders
and those aspiring to the role.
