商品描述

This book provides readers with insights into how Singapore school leaders are actively engaged in the transformation of the Singapore education system. It brings to attention crucial elucidations of the increasing demand and complexity placed on school leaders through the use of case studies. Each chapter in the book focuses on a particular issue which has become important or has gained renewed importance in the Singapore education system.

The chapters first provide a background to the theme under examination and a theoretical basis for discussion. They then narrate the case that shows how school leaders interpret and implement policy initiatives in their respective schools or lead change in that area. The case studies span over a wide range of domains such as instructional leadership, assessment leadership, stakeholder engagement, professional learning communities, and school branding. The data collected from these case studies came primarily from interviews of educators in their respective school contexts, in addition to other sources of data such as artifacts. Each case study highlights descriptions, interpretations, and perspectives across school contexts, which is consistent with the proposition that school leadership is very much shaped by context. At the end of each chapter, there are guiding questions to help readers critically analyse and reflect on the main learning points of the case.

本書提供讀者對新加坡學校領導者如何積極參與新加坡教育系統轉型的深入見解。透過案例研究,書中強調了學校領導者面臨的日益增加的需求和複雜性。每一章節專注於在新加坡教育系統中變得重要或重新獲得重要性的特定議題。

各章節首先提供所探討主題的背景及理論基礎,接著敘述案例,展示學校領導者如何在各自的學校中詮釋和實施政策倡議或在該領域引領變革。這些案例研究涵蓋了廣泛的領域,如教學領導、評估領導、利益相關者參與、專業學習社群及學校品牌化。這些案例研究所收集的數據主要來自於對各自學校環境中教育工作者的訪談,此外還包括其他數據來源,如實物資料。每個案例研究突顯了在學校環境中不同的描述、詮釋和觀點,這與學校領導力在很大程度上受到環境影響的主張是一致的。在每章的結尾,提供了指導問題,幫助讀者批判性地分析和反思案例的主要學習要點。
