Summary:

This collection addresses key issues in the preparation and development of school leaders across eight countries and four world areas (North America, United Kingdom, Europe and Australasia). The work offers evidence-based insights into the current and future leadership preparation and development needed for school success. The future focus extends across the coming two or more decades and challenges the reader to consider how schools will likely develop and the leadership we will need in these schools. The book comes at a time when many schools are faced with significant challenges, including enduring impacts from the pandemic, teacher shortages and the incorporation of new technologies such as generative AI. Leadership in schools has never been more important and it is timely to consider the leadership preparation and development we need now and into the future. There are chapters that address leadership from pre-service and early career teachers through to principals, providing a whole of career focus. The authors are part of the International Leadership Development Network, and use their extensive research to consider the important areas of teacher and middle leaders; leadership for equity, inclusion, and social justice; and school, community and university partnerships. It is a book that will prove useful to teachers and school leaders, system leaders, university faculty and graduate researchers.
