Overview

School leadership is critical to the success for both teachers and students. Yet, the theory and practice the informs the current context of school leadership has been, for the most part, left to each nation and its educational authorities, institutions, and associations. Thus, over the last several decades, global collaboration has not occurred in a significant manner. The purpose of this book is to encourage such discussion, examination, debate, and collaboration of the issues, challenges, and successes found in school leadership from around the world. Specific topics found in the book include international professional learning for school leaders from Canada, China, Europe, and Turkey, offering both theory and practices from the field of school leadership.

Reviews

School Leadership That Works --Ideas from Around the World is a unique book aimed at preparing aspiring and supporting current school leaders. Leadership theories, concepts, research (qualitative and quantitative), and practical leadership program development and delivery designed for various leadership roles in different cultures are scholarly presented. The Editor, through his childhood memories, professional experiences, and journey around the world, makes a powerful connection between a bridge builder and a leader using the Rainbow Bridge as a metaphor. Read this book, be a global school leader who improves education and builds bridges for his/her community and the world! -- Abdourahmane Barry, PhD, Educational Leadership and Policy, Taibah University, Medina, Saudi Arabia This book will be essential reading for researchers, educators and anyone involved in preparing future school leaders and supporting current school leaders. Only an experienced teacher, leader and scholar like Peter Litchka, based on his numerous international experiences, could explore school leadership from a number of international perspectives and include a multinational approach to universal school leadership development. -- Anna Kienig, PhD, faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology, University of Bialystok, Poland Whether we refer to primary, secondary or post-secondary education, school leadership has been one of the most researched areas in education, due to its fundamental and critical role in promoting educational success and improvement. As the world is becoming more globalized and flatter (Friedman, 2005), we thrive to learn more about what works elsewhere. Prof. Litchka's book, which further explores this significant topic via multinational lenses, is highly challenging and beneficial. -- Ronit Bogler, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Education and Psychology, The Open University of Israel
