The International Handbook of Leadership for Learning brings
together chapters by distinguished authors from thirty-one
countries in nine different regions of the world. The handbook
contains nine sections that provide regional overviews; a
consideration of theoretical and contextual aspects; system and
policy approaches that promote leadership for learning with a focus
on educating school leaders for learning and the role of the leader
in supporting learning. It also considers the challenge of
educating current leaders for this new perspective, and how leaders
themselves can develop leadership for learning in others and in
their organisations, especially in diverse contexts and situations.
The final chapter considers what we now know about leadership for
learning and looks at ways this might be further improved in the
future. The book provides the reader with an understanding of the
rich contextual nature of learning in schools and the role of
school leaders and leadership development in promoting this. It
concludes that the preposition 'for' between the two readily known
and understood terms of 'leadership' and 'learning' changes
everything as it foregrounds learning and complexifies, rather than
simplifies, what that word may mean. Whereas common terms such as
'instructional leadership' reduce learning to 'outcomes',
leadership for learning embraces a much wider, developmental view
of learning.
