Viewing leadership in education as a fractured field, this Handbook critically analyses traditional and emerging perspectives and arguments. It reveals the fluidity of educational leadership, identifying how different practices can contribute to diverse educational goals. Chapters examine leadership at every stage of education, from early years to higher education, drawing on diverse national and cultural contexts. Global experts give practical suggestions for improving both the research and practice of leadership in education, covering important topics including leading for social justice, indigenous knowledge, leadership development and leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Handbook on Leadership in Education will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of educational sociology, leadership, management and administration. It will also be an important guide for practitioners and policy-makers seeking to build inclusive and effective educational leadership structures.
