The Early Years of Leadership: The Journey Begins is distinctive for many reasons, chief among which is a strong commitment to honoring practitioners’ stories and empirical research. The chapters in this volume also represent the work of scholars and school practitioners from the global north and south. The fusion of diverse international perspectives allows for greater identification of local and global commonalities and trends that would provide aspiring and novice school principals with practical information and strategies for their development. These include strategies for helping them to find their internal motivation and a roadmap to develop leadership philosophies and negotiate common leadership pitfalls within and outside of the school community. This book is intended for use by aspiring and incumbent school administrators and students enrolled in educational leadership and administration courses. Each chapter offers an overview of the specific area of focus and concludes with reflective activities and questions for discussion. It can therefore be used as a companion reader for administrators, as well as a teaching tool by universities and other professional development programs. ENDORSEMENTS: "As an educational leader spanning almost three decades, I find “The Early Years of Leadership: The Journey Begins” a delightful must read for both the seasoned and up and coming educational leader, whose objective is a successful career at leading in a changing and challenging educational environment. I commend the Editorial Team for providing a guidebook for managing challenges faced by novice leaders; suggestions for crafting a leadership philosophy; and advice on how to negotiate micro-politics and challenges in schools. Those involved in leadership training and principal preparation would also find this a useful text since it includes vignettes and reflection questions that are sure to generate robust discussion and facilitate the deconstruction of key leadership concepts." — Abel Adekola, Wilkes University "The stories of the leaders throughout this book demonstrate that leadership is a journey. While there is no predetermined timeline, the pace of progress can be influenced by one’s participation in reflective practice, engagement in a community of practice and the availability of ongoing professional development. By providing them with the insight and information needed to understand better the vital role leaders play in fostering school success, The Early Years of Leadership: The Journey Begins can assist administrators with the necessary knowledge and guidance to create leaders of learning that can respond to the increasing societal challenges our schools face." — Camille Rutherford, Brock University

Jill believes that the qualities that make you a good teacher are closely related to those which will serve you well in leadership. Every teacher is, in fact, a leader of learning within their own classroom. As your career progresses and you move from one leadership role to another, your sphere of influence gradually grows. You will have the chance to learn, to grow, to prove yourself. You will make mistakes and survive them. Headship is demanding, but it is also extremely rewarding: this book will encourage you to be clear-sighted about the challenges and responsibilities that lie ahead. Managing the transition from deputy to first-time headship successfully will ensure that you are on the most positive trajectory as you continue your leadership journey. In Jill's experience, new heads often ask themselves similar questions. How can I balance the two roles as I begin to hand over my senior leader responsibilities and, at the same time, begin to assume the mantle of the head? How can I establish the most positive and productive relationship with the outgoing head, so that confidence is maintained and the school is energised, rather than threatened, by the change of school leader? How can I ensure the early months and years of headship are as successful as possible, so that the school develops and grows even stronger under my leadership? This book will answer all those questions and more. Suitable for teachers, middle leaders and senior leaders who are considering school headship. Making the Leap was a finalist in the 2017 Education Resources Awards in the Educational Book Award category.

New primary leaders face significant challenges worldwide and this book brings together the range of those experiences and challenges for the first time. It includes interviews with primary school leaders in the early years of leadership in 12 different countries. Each chapter begins with an introduction to the principal and the local context before the principal's own description of her or his experience as a new leader. The leaders discuss how they prepared for principalship, their experiences after taking up the post, the extent to which the job meets with their expectations and their hopes and fears for the future. The final chapter provides a comparative overview, exploring new principals' perceptions of key influences on schools and their communities, their reactions to the multiple, heightened and often-conflicting expectations, pressures and challenges they encounter and the implications for principal preparation internationally. The voices of principals from around the world provide a vivid and authentic picture of new school leaders in different contexts at the beginning of the 21st century.

This book offers an in-depth understanding of the unique challenges and contributions of urban primary schools. The authors set urban education in the wider social context of structural disadvantage, poverty, oppression and exclusion, and reassert some critical urban educational concerns. Recognising that practice needs to be informed by theory, they provide a strong theoretical framework alongside contemporary ethnographic data. Drawing on their extensive experience in urban primary schools, as well as numerous case studies, the authors present a fresh and stimulating view of urban primary schools which will inspire education professionals and academics alike. The Urban Primary School is essential reading for teachers and trainee teachers in urban primary schools, as well as for students of education, policy-makers, parents and school governors.

Since the year 2000, there has been a statistically high proportion of head teachers leaving the profession. While there have been studies conducted to predict when this exodus would conclude, the actual reasons for why senior people are leaving their positions have not been explored so far. Schools have found replacing head teachers increasingly difficult and the inevitable leadership crisis has been well documented by both scholars and the media. The leadership crisis has been most noticeable within the Catholic Primary School sector, where statistics have consistently shown an issue with recruiting people to headship positions. This book considers the reasons for the crisis and looks at potential solutions. It identifies what the leadership crisis encompasses from the negativity of the education system (including headship accountability, the work-life balance, and salary), whilst also offsetting this with possible supporting solutions, such as the value of acting headship, succession planning and talent spotting from the beginning of a teacher’s career.

This book is undertaken by the author who has personally walked the journey of a classroom teacher, middle leader and school principal in the Singapore education system. It is a culmination of two research projects undertaken in two phases — the first is derived from the PhD Thesis entitled The Making of School Principals in Singapore and the second is based on interviews with school principals who have retired from the Singapore education system. Both research projects provide invaluable input to describe the four career phases of school leadership, that is, formation, accession, incumbency, and divestiture. This research describes how the formative years of a school principal have tremendous impact on who the principal is, and how the values and beliefs of an aspiring/potential school leader serve to guide him/her in taking on the principalship post.This well-structured book is both exploratory and descriptive. It provides the necessary background for anyone interested in understanding school leadership as a career. More specifically, it will be of value to educators and stakeholders interested in understanding the nature of school leadership in the Singapore education system.
