Learning to Lead for Transformation: An African Perspective on Educational Leadership

Autor Emmanuel Ngara
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iul 2022
Learning to Lead for Transformation takes an international and inclusive approach, exploring learning and educational leadership from different cultural and theoretical perspectives, from Habermas' theory of cognitive interests to Freire's approach to education and Ngara's decolonized epistemology and Ubuntu-based developmental approach. Enriching his presentation with Japanese and Western examples, Ngara uses the African tradition of storytelling as well as engaging exercises to explore:- The developmental approach to teaching and learning- The link between the proposed pedagogy and leadership development- The importance of relevant curriculum content- The importance of approaches based on indigenous knowledge systems or cultural traditions.Each topic is introduced with a "tuning in exercise", and the reader is guided to reflect on their own experiences and understanding throughout the book with discussion points and activities.

Recenzii

A seminal, practical contribution to leadership as a discipline. Emmanuel Ngara builds a holistic bridge between state-of-the-art leadership practice, enhanced by the ancient wisdom from the cradle of humankind, Sub-Sahara Africa. His focus on educational leadership is arguably the point of greatest leverage for national development. A must read for aspiring leadership, educators and policy-makers.
Ngara's publication should be required reading on leadership, not just in education, but in every profession. A monumental, mosaic-tapestry of global educational theoretical frameworks, philosophies and paradigms, it makes a compelling case for transformational learning and leadership, highlighting Utu/Ubuntu. Dialogical and illustrative, the book captures the reader's attention from start to finish.
In this highly accessible and scholarly book [Ngara] brings his rich understanding of education and leadership to a wider international readership. He provides the reader with valuable insights into the Ubuntu approach to leadership - an approach which has important implications for all those with leadership roles not only in education but across professions.
