Abstract

"Distributive Leadership" is a new concept in education. It has to do with the ways in which leadership is exercised in everyday practice through communications and actions, and via others in the school community like teachers and parents. In this book, James Spillane, the leading expert on "Distributive Leadership," explores the distribution of leadership among various people in the school, and the extent and ways in which leadership is stretched over tools and physical materials in the organization such as _ memos, scheduling procedures, evaluation protocols, computer programs, and more.

Abstract

This book explores what specialists are saying about system leadership for school improvement. Case studies examine innovative approaches to sharing leadership across schools in Belgium (Flanders), Finland and the United Kingdom (England) and leadership development programmes for system improvement in Australia and Austria. As these are emerging practices, the book provides a first international comparison and assessment of the state of the art of system leadership.
