The study of educational leadership makes little sense unless it is
in relation to who the leaders are, how they are leading, what is
being led, and with what effect. Based on the premise that learning
is at the heart of leadership and that leaders themselves should be
learners, the Leadership for Learning series explores the
connections between educational leadership, policy, curriculum,
human resources and accountability. Each book in the series
approaches its subject matter through a three-fold structure of
process, themes and impact. Series Editors - Clive Dimmock, Mark
Brundrett and Les Bell The notion that school transformation is
dependent on exceptional leaders is increasingly seen as
unrealistic and unsustainable. Instead, the idea of distributed
leadership, which promotes the view that all stakeholders have
complementary leadership roles to play in enhancing student
learning, is now being promoted as a more useful framework for
understanding schools and how they might be changed. Subscribing to
the notion of distributed leadership, O'Donoghue and Clarke
identify two key groups: the 'leaders of learning' and the 'leaders
for learning'. The leaders of learning - and the focus of this book
- are those working at the school level to improve the quality of
learning in the classroom, such as teachers, principals, pupils and
involved members of the local school community. The leaders for
learning are the policy-makers and administrators whose support is
crucial. The authors argue that in order to be effective leaders,
both groups require an understanding of: Broad trends in
contemporary leadership theory Recent views on learning theory The
importance of teachers engaging continually in learning about their
practice The significance of creating and sustaining schools as
learning organisations Forging links between leadership and
learning The book's examination of the shifting approaches to
leading learning in contemporary schools is enriched by innovative
examples drawn from a range of international contexts. Leading
Learning will appeal to students involved in masters and doctoral
courses relevant to the field and those undertaking programmes of
school leadership preparation and development. It will also be of
interest to academics working in the field of educational
leadership and management.
