Page 130 - Educational Leadership in a Changing World

In an era marked by global disruption, growing inequality, and rapid
transformation in education systems, the role of school leaders – and
educational leadership more broadly – has become increasingly com-
plex, multifaceted, and urgent. This edited volume brings together in-
ternational perspectives and original research that illuminate various
dimensions of educational leadership, with a particular focus on school
leadership. Although school leadership has been extensively theorized
and empirically studied in recent years, foundational concepts remain
the subject of ongoing debate, as leadership is inherently shaped by its
context. From a policy standpoint, globalization and internationalization
have fostered a certain degree of ‘sameness,’ reflected in both termi-
nology and theoretical approaches. The international authorship repre-
sented in this volume underscores a shared commitment to improving
schools and advancing school leadership. The chapters offer a timely and
critical exploration of educational leadership in a rapidly changing world.
They address pressing issues related to policy, practice, and equity, while
providing grounded examples of innovation, resilience, and reflective
practice across diverse contexts.
