Description
This module considers the contexts, purposes and practices of leadership within a global perspective. School leaders have always faced challenges, but the demands and pace of change have increased, as well as pressures and expectations. Globalisation can create unstable, insecure and very diverse communities of newcomers and present major challenges to school leaders. Cultural, class, ethnic and community diversity have many implications for schools. In this context, leadership is put to the test and school leaders often have to make speedy responses to highly charged events and find solutions which go beyond the pragmatic and require tolerance, sensitivity and emotional intelligence. Schools, particularly in urban contexts, face the toughest dilemmas, including having to meet the needs of disaffected students and their families. To support understanding of the issues, this module draws upon findings from recent and on-going studies which offer fresh insights into school leadership.
