Описание: The book aims to explore distributed leadership in developing curriculum innovations in schools with a target of bringing about theoretical underpinnings in the West with the empirical studies and practices in the East. It examines theoretically the roots of the curriculum leadership studies and practically with the empirical data and case studies in Hong Kong which has been considered a melting pot of the Western concepts and innovations in a land of Eastern cultures. The examination is framed within theoretical frameworks of activity theories, discourse analysis and social network systems. The findings will show the impact of the cultural traditions of Eastern countries in the mediation of the direction of the discourses in teacher meetings and the effectiveness of decision making in the processes of developing school based curriculum leadership. The book is theoretically exploratory with practically examined practices for educational leaders like schools headers and department leaders as well as teachers who aim at asserting greater influence in the educational decision making processes. Topics discussed in the book include: Curriculum leadership functions and patterns of leadership distribution Engaging teachers in reflective practice: tensions between ideological orientations and pragmatic considerations Models of distributed leadership: focus, development and future Initiating, designing and enacting curriculum innovations: procedures and processes This book will appeal to researchers interested in Curriculum Studies, School leadership and comparative education. Those who studies the theory of education and Asian education will also find this book valuable.

Описание: This book argues that the educational environment in many countries has shifted so dramatically and so permanently that we urgently need to re-consider what
we understand by educational leadership and educational leadership practice. It focuses on distributed leadership and focuses on the emerging evidence about the possibilities and
shortcomings of this form of leadership. It will draw upon the latest empirical findings from studies in different countries that have focused on the relationship between distributed forms of
leadership and organisational change.
The main aim of the book is to offer contemporary, comparative and challenging accounts of distributed leadership practice. This book
outlines current understandings, findings and limitations of the concept of distributed leadership. It brings together different international perspectives on distributed leadership as well as
looking at distributed leadership through three major lenses - the empirical, the interpretive and the critical.
The book aims to offer challenge, debate and critique, as well as
presenting the latest empirical findings about the impact and effects of distributed leadership on organizational change. Leading writers in the field will offer contemporary analysis and
reflection on the theme and will also consider the future issues, challenges and directions for distributed leadership.

Описание: James Spillane, the leading expert in "Distributed Leadership," shows how leadership happens in everyday practices in schools, through formal routines and informal interactions. He examines the distribution of leadership among administrators, specialists, and teachers in the school, and explains the ways in which leadership practice is stretched over leaders, followers, and aspects of the situation, including routines and tools of various sorts in the organization such as memos, scheduling procedures, and evaluation protocols.
Описание: The primary focus of the book is to emphasize the major changes in the leadership responsibilities of the school principal and to underscore the necessity for them to gain new knowledge and skills in order to direct their leadership toward meeting the new changes in school-community goals and objectives. M. Scott Norton emphasizes the fact that contemporary issues and problems must be viewed as symptoms of change. The symptoms represent administrative tasks that must be attacked by implementing the primary reason that the school principal is hired, that of leading on-going change. The leader s responsibility focuses on school purposes as set forth in a viable school mission statement. The school s mission statement, that all too often is set forth as a public relations perspective, must instead set forth answers to questions such as, What is our purpose? Why does our school exist? What is our reason for being here? How do we meet the on-going changes that face us educationally? The leadership of the school principal attacks the symptoms of change by collaborating with the school s faculty to set forth a mission to which all members can commit. Collaboration infers a unification of members commitments toward the primary purposes of the school. Collaboration and opportunities to confer on an on-going basis are established. Although the school principal s hands are often tied by such factors as lack of resources, underfunded/unfunded mandates, inability to hire and retain highly qualified personnel and constantly changing program requirements related to student testing and teacher performance evaluation, this book places emphasis on the principal s need to become a visionary change agent in order to attack the ever changing symptoms of educational change."
