El consenso amplio que se da a nivel internacional sobre la importancia de la dirección en el rendimiento de los alumnos y en la mejora escolar es, actualmente, algo incontestable y avalado por diferentes estudios. No obstante, el debate sobre el modelo de dirección deseable en contextos educativos determinados y sus relaciones con el liderazgo que le debe acompañar son aún temas pendientes de decisiones políticas y profesionales sin resolver. El presente texto organiza y presenta los avances que sobre el tema se han ido desarrollando hasta llegar a modelos de dirección distribuida con líderes transformadores, centrados en los procesos de aprendizaje, y capaces de promover centros educativos más eficientes, inclusivos, seguros, saludades, sostenibles, y personal y socialmente útiles. A la reflexión y análisis sobre la naturaleza y sentido de la función directiva y del liderazgo que le debe acompañar, se añaden varios capítulos que tratan del desarrollo profesional de estos responsables, revisando aspectos de la formación inicial y permanente, de las transiciones que les afectan y de su trabajo en red. También se consideran aspectos diferenciales como puedan ser los específicos de la práctica directiva en entornos vulnerables, en centros de formación profesional y en contextos rurales. La obra, dirigida especialmente a directivos, estudiosos e investigadores, asesores, profesorado y responsables de los sistemas educativos, busca así difundir el conocimiento existente, proporcionando los marcos teóricos y prácticos que pueden apoyar su intervención en los centros educativos. Pero, más allá de la formalización y desarrollo realizados, lo interesante de esta aportación radica en los dos mensajes que transmite. A nivel implícito, la reivindicación sobre la necesidad de mantener e impulsar modelos de estudio sobre los directivos líderes que superen el mero análisis estructural y avancen en la descripción y conocimiento de las complejas dinámicas humanas sobre las que actúan. A nivel explícito, nos ayuda a conocer fortalezas y debilidades de las propuestas que, relacionadas con la función directiva y el liderazgo, existen, aportando nuevas visiones y formas de entender y analizar su actividad.

A provocative and authoritative compendium of writings on leadership in education from distinguished scholar-educators worldwide. What is educational leadership? What are some of the trends, questions, and social forces most relevant to the current state of education? What are the possible futures of education, and what can educational leadership contribute to these futures? To address these questions, and more, editors Duncan Waite and Ira Bogotch asked distinguished international thought leaders on education to share their insights, observations, and research findings on the nature of education and educational leadership in the global village. The Wiley International Handbook of Educational Leadership brings together contributions from authors in twenty-one countries, spanning six continents. Topics examined include leadership and aesthetics, creativity, eco‐justice, advocacy, Big Data and technology, neoliberalism, emerging philosophies and theories, critical democracy, gender and radical feminism, political economies, emotions, postcolonialism, and new directions in higher education. A must-read for teachers, researchers, scholars, and policy makers, this Handbook: Champions radical pluralism over consensus and pseudoscientific or political solutions to problems in education Embraces social, economic, and political relevance alongside the traditions of careful and systematic rigor Challenges traditional epistemological, cultural, and methodological concepts of education and educational leadership Explores the field’s historical antecedents and ways in which leadership can transcend the narrow disciplinary and bureaucratic constraints imposed by current research designs and methods Advances radically new possibilities for remaking educational leadership research and educational institutions

This book provides a unique map of the focus and directions of contemporary research on school leadership since 2000 in 24 countries. Each of these directions has its own particular cultural, educational and policy history. Taken together, the various chapters in the volume provide a rich and varied mosaic of what is currently known and what is yet to be discovered about the roles and practices of principals, and their contributions to the improvement of teaching and the learning and achievement of students. The particular foci and methodological emphases of the research reported illustrate the different phases in the development of educational policies and provision in each country. This collection is an important addition to existing international research that has shown beyond any reasonable doubt that the influence of school principals is second only to that of teachers in their capacity to impact students’ progress and achievement and to promote equity and social justice.
