Although not new, the concept of distributed (shared) leadership
has re-emerged in recent years as one highly promising response to
the complex challenges currently faced by schools. Responding
productively to these challenges far exceeds the capacities of any
individual leader. If schools are to flourish in the future, they
will need to enlist the collective expertise of many more of their
members and stakeholders than they have in the past. The purpose of
this volume is to both present and synthesize the best available
evidence about the nature, causes, and effects of distributed
school leadership. The book also clarifies common misunderstandings
about distributed leadership and identifies promising implications
for practice and for future research. Key features include...
Expertise - Written by the most active and widely respected
scholars engaged in research on distributed leadership, the book
encompasses the very latest knowledge about the nature, causes and
consequences of such leadership in schools. Comparative Models -
The book compares various approaches to distributed leadership and
examines the conditions under which some approaches may be better
than others in improving schools. Evidence-Based - Much of the
popularity of distributed leadership is rooted in expectations
unsupported by systematic empirical evidence. Virtually all of the
available evidence about distributed approach to leadership can be
found in this book. This book is appropriate for researchers
studying school leadership, instructors and students in
graduate-level school leadership courses and practicing
administrators at the district and building level.
