Cognitive Perspectives on Educational Leadership (Critical Issues in Educational Leadership)

Hallinger, Philip

This study proposes that understanding the way in which school administrators adapt to the complex contexts in which they work requires something more than simple studies of head teachers' behaviour and practices. Cognitive psychology provides a useful perspective on the subject.

Educational Leadership for Organisational Learning and Improved Student Outcomes (Studies in Educational Leadership)

The change in paradigm in our field is away from the great man or woman theory of leadership and the teacher in his or her own classroom to the development of learning communities which value differences and support critical reflection and encourage members to question, challenge, and debate teaching and learning issues. How to achieve such learning communities is far from clear, but we believe the areas of problem-based learning (PBL) and organizational learning (OL) offer valuable clues. The indications are that the successful educational restructuring agenda depends on teams of leaders, whole staffs and school personnel, working together (i.e., OL) linking evidence and practice in genuine collaboration (i.e., PBL). The book is unique in that it is both about and uses these two concepts.

Based on the authors' research on the behaviour and thinking of school leaders, this volume presents arguments about the natue of expert school leadership. It parallels developments in the field from the early 1980s when the emphasis was on identifying the behaviours of effective principals, to the early 1990s, when the focus shifted to understanding the thinking underlying those behaviours. The ideas contained in this book should be useful in helping practising educationalists develop the skills involved in school leadership.
