"Innovation, venerated over the past two centuries in Western society, has not always been considered so positively. This book takes stock of the meanings generated by innovation, in particular by social innovation, clearly distinct from technological innovation. In fact, societal transformations reflect, through social innovation, the responses to novelty: its investment, its values and its impacts. While social innovation in general has produced many works in the social sciences, innovation specifically at school has not attracted such favor, often being limited to a description of innovative action without generating any theorization or understanding of the relevant issues, processes and instrumentalizations, especially with regard to the policies that guide education systems. Innovation at school therefore deserves to be considered as an object of attention as such. Through a close analysis of the evolution of the school, this book develops a novel theorization of innovation as it functions in relation to school and society"--Page 4 of cover.

"Technological transformation should lead to enhance people's potential and the development of their cognitive and social competences, especially those connected with effective communication on different levels. The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified all these processes and, for better resilience and effectiveness at work, it requires now different sets of competences. This book gives direct insight into changes that take place in education in the context of an unprecedented and rapid technological advancement, which requires the reorientation of goals and functions based on innovative, adaptive and flexible solutions - in most cases driven by individual leadership. It describes the way to reach this reorientation and shows through thorough research how educational leaders position themselves on this way in this fast-changing ecosystem. Exploring how educational leaders manage the challenges of digital transformation, using European collaborative projects, this research volume discusses how this process impacts the effectiveness and sustainability of organizational activities.
