International case studies of leadership in practice provide an
overview of the 'lived experience' of new primary school Principals
in different contexts. New primary leaders face significant
challenges worldwide and this book brings together the range of
those experiences and challenges for the first time. It includes
interviews with primary school leaders in the early years of
leadership in 13 different countries. Each chapter begins with an
introduction by the researcher to the Principal and their local
context before the Principal's own description of their experience
as a new leader. The leaders discuss how they prepared for
principalship, their experiences in the first year, the extent to
which the job meets with their expectations and their hopes and
fears for the future. The first and last chapters provide a
comparative overview, exploring new principals' perceptions of key
influences on schools and their communities, their reactions to the
multiple, heightened and often conflicting expectations, pressures
and challenges they encounter and the implications for principal
preparation internationally. The voices of Principals from around
the world provide a vivid and authentic picture of new school
leaders in different contexts at the beginning of the 21st Century.
