School reform is a top priority for governments today. This timely
and challenging book, edited by leading international researchers,
Kathryn Riley and Karen Seashore Louis, offers a rich comparative
perspective on leadership for change and school reform.
Contributors form North America, Europe and Australia demonstrate
how school leadership is influenced by global pressures, differing
national and state contexts and local concerns. They illustrate the
limitations of reform initiatives which focus on school leaders tot
he exclusion of the many other organisations which affect school,
such as national and local governments, professional associations
and school communities. This book raises some important questions
such as: *How can school leaders create intelligent, thinking
schools? *How can leadership and learning be linked together? *What
are the characteristics of effective local education authorities
and school districts? *What is the role of teacher organisations in
educational reform and change? *What happens if businesses,
teachers, parents and local communities have different views of
what makes a good school? The text illustrates the ways in which
leadership is rooted in learning, and identifies new directions for
school leadership. It challenges conventional notions of
leadership, offering an expanded view, which sees leadership just
as an individual role-based function, but as a network of
relationships among people, structures and cultures. This lively
and provocative book should be read by all those interested in
education reform.
