Understanding Educational Leadership guides you through critical
perspectives and approaches across the world, taking in the global
north and south, and explores the ways in which educational
leadership is currently understood, theorised, researched, modelled
and practised. The book also covers contemporary issues including
gender, sexual identity and race, as well as topics such as
governance, performativity and corporatisation. It brings together
evidence and ideas that illuminate the power structures and
relations in educational leaders, leading and leadership and helps
you to consider the impact on policy and practice, and to think
about changes needed to mitigate the issues identified. The book
showcases a wide range of theorists, including Bourdieu, Foucault
and Fraser. Its impressive scope includes analyses of collectivist,
neoliberal and historical influences on educational leadership. It
explores forensically leadership styles, with an explicit focus on
distributed, instructional, democratic, autocratic, laissez-faire
and organisational forms. Carefully curated by the editors, the
world-leading contributors draw on their wealth of knowledge about
research and practice to provide you with an overview of
educational leadership today, looking at global research, evidence,
arguments and conceptualisations. Each chapter is written in an
engaging and inspiring way, following a consistent approach to help
you to develop your understanding in each of the areas covered.
Full pedagogical features throughout include chapter summaries, key
questions, case studies, questions for readers and further reading
suggestions with questions on key texts. A companion website
provides links to open-access outputs, research-project outcomes,
and networking seminars, conferences with links to local, national
and global events and connections.
