This book focuses on what school leaders need to know and
understand about leadership for learning, and for learning to read
in particular. It brings together theory, research and practice on
leadership for literacy. The book reports on the findings from six
studies that followed school principals from their involvement in a
professional learning program consisting of five modules on
leadership and the teaching of reading, to implementation action in
their schools. It describes how they applied a range of strategies
to create leadership partnerships with their teachers, pursuing
eight related dimensions from a Leadership for Learning framework
or blueprint. The early chapters of the book feature the use of
practical tools as a focus for leadership activity. These chapters
consider, for example, how principals and teachers can develop
deeper understandings of their schools' contexts; how professional
discussions can be conducted with a process called 'disciplined
dialogue'; and how principals might encourage approaches to shared
leadership with their teachers. The overall findings presented in
this book emphasise five positive positions on leadership for
learning to read: the importance of an agreed moral purpose;
sharing leadership for improvement; understanding what learning to
read involves; implementing and evaluating reading interventions;
and recognising the need for support for leaders' learning
on-the-job.
