商品描述

Arising from new research of members of the International Successful School Principalship Project, this book presents cases of school and leadership success from across 12 countries. It provides critically informed writing, informed by ecological systems theory, which questions the uncritical application of single lens, adjectival leadership models, challenges critical theorists' views of teachers' and leaders' as necessarily compliant with so-called neoliberal policy agendas. In their place, the chapters provide compelling evidence not only of who successful leaders are and what they do, but how they do it as they meet and manage the challenges of building and sustaining success in uncertain times in a range of cultures and social contexts. In these schools, principals assert their broad educational values, professional identities, agency and resilience, drawing upon a range of strategies, technical and human relating qualities and skills in building and sustaining success for all.

Whilst they acknowledge the influence of cultural, policy, and community contexts, they are not oppressed by these. The chapters provide a brief description of country and school contexts, the life and work of the principal, their leadership strategies and how they contribute to teacher wellbeing and teaching quality, leadership development in others, pedagogical leadership, cultures of trust, and community engagement. There is also consideration of how school leaders manage tensions and dilemmas, how success differs from effectiveness, and the characteristics and qualities of leaders that lead to success. It is a book which will stimulate school leaders and aspiring school leaders to consider more deeply their own work and its directions. For researchers and system leaders, it provides multi-level, multiple perspective case studies as part of the largest international educational leadership project ever undertaken. It is a 'must read', rich, timely professionally connected book.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書源自國際成功校長計畫成員的新研究，展示了來自12個國家的學校和領導成功案例。它提供了以生態系統理論為基礎的批判性寫作，質疑單一視角、形容詞領導模型的無批判應用，挑戰批判理論家對教師和領導者必然遵循所謂新自由主義政策議程的看法。取而代之的是，各章節提供了令人信服的證據，不僅揭示成功領導者是誰及其所做的事情，還探討他們如何在各種文化和社會背景中應對和管理在不確定時期建立和維持成功的挑戰。在這些學校中，校長們堅持他們廣泛的教育價值觀、專業身份、主動性和韌性，運用各種策略、技術和人際關係素質及技能，為所有人建立和維持成功。

雖然他們承認文化、政策和社區背景的影響，但並未受到這些因素的壓迫。各章節簡要描述了國家和學校的背景、校長的生活和工作、他們的領導策略，以及這些策略如何促進教師的福祉和教學質量、他人的領導發展、教學領導、信任文化和社區參與。還考慮了學校領導者如何管理緊張和困境、成功與有效性之間的差異，以及導致成功的領導者特徵和素質。這本書將激勵學校領導者和有志於成為學校領導者的人更深入地思考自己的工作及其方向。對於研究者和系統領導者而言，它提供了多層次、多視角的案例研究，作為有史以來最大規模的國際教育領導項目的一部分。這是一本必讀的、內容豐富、及時且與專業相關的書籍。
