Foundations of Educational Leadership

<p><em>Foundations of Educational Leadership </em>provides a fresh and research-based perspective on educational leadership, exploring 10 specific aspects of ‘glocalization’ in which educational leaders must be literate in order to establish and sustain relevant and useful educational experiences for students in their schools. In addition to covering traditional concepts such as culture, instructional leadership, professional ethics, and politics, well-known authors Brooks and Normore also introduce several conventionally neglected, cutting edge concepts like spirituality, holistic health, and information leadership. This important book emphasizes how a framework of learning, literacy, leadership, and reflection is critical to the preparation and practice of educational leaders. <em>Foundations of Educational Leadership</em> ensures aspiring and practicing leaders will be prepared to influence processes and outcomes for creating a more just and equitable environment for all students. </p><p>Key Features:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Each chapter focuses on what leaders need to <em>learn</em>, the concepts with which they need to be<em> literate</em>, how to <em>lead</em> in the area, and aspects on which they should <em>reflect.</em> </li> <li>Discussion sections at the end of each chapter include prompts, questions, and activities suited for engaging ideas, alone, or with classmates.</li> <li>An eResource features additional resources and video content.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Contents</strong></p><p>Preface</p><p>Acknowledgments</p><p>CHAPTER ONE</p><p>INTRODUCTION: Educational Leadership: From Classic to Cutting Edge</p><p>CHAPTER TWO</p><p>POLITICAL LEADERSHIP</p><p>CHAPTER THREE</p><p>ECONOMIC LEADERSHIP</p><p>CHAPTER FOUR</p><p>CULTURAL LEADERSHIP</p><p>CHAPTER FIVE</p><p>MORAL LEADERSHIP</p><p>CHAPTER SIX</p><p>PEDAGOGICAL LEADERSHIP</p><p>CHAPTER SEVEN</p><p>INFORMATION LEADERSHIP</p><p>CHAPTER EIGHT</p><p>ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP</p><p>CHAPTER NINE</p><p>SPIRITUAL AND RELIGIOUS LEADERSHIP</p><p>CHAPTER TEN</p><p>TEMPORAL LEADERSHIP</p><p>CHAPTER ELEVEN</p><p>HEALTH AND HOLISTIC LEADERSHIP</p><p>CHAPTER TWELVE</p><p>BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER: DYNAMIC AND SYNERGISTIC LEADERSHIP</p><p>INDEX</p>
