This book deals with effective school leadership and its essential
role in improving the efficiency and equity of schooling. It
provides school leaders with instruments and processes to examine
the big picture of leadership as the key intermediary between the
classroom, the individual school and its community, and the
educational system as a whole. By doing so, it increases school
leaders’ level of awareness with regards to systemic leadership.
Furthermore, the book shows how organizational arrangements for
schools have changed significantly over time and how school leaders
have become involved in matters within and beyond their school’s
borders. The book’s comparison of countries makes clear
that, while school context and system-level differences have
varying implications for the exercise of school leadership across
countries, a number of global trends have impacted on schools
across many countries around the world. In line with these changes,
the roles and responsibilities of school leaders have expanded and
intensified. Moreover, through the examination of school leaders’
epistemological beliefs, the book investigates the
relationship between these beliefs and the exercise of school
leadership.
