Preparation and Development of School Leaders in Africa de Dr Pontso Moorosi

Preparation and Development of School Leaders in Africa

Editat de Dr Pontso Moorosi, Professor Tony Bush
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mai 2021
The book is based on African research and reviews on school leadership preparation and development, taking stock of where the field is in this geographical region and what lies ahead. The exclusive focus on sub-Saharan African countries is driven by the desire to foreground African experiences, highlighting gaps and asking critical questions about contextually relevant models of leadership that can drive towards improved educational outcomes for African children. The countries explored include Botswana, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania. Written by a collective of seasoned researchers with extensive experience in the field and on the continent, this volume is timely, as the field is in need of serious political attention. For these reasons, the book is an important resource for policy-makers, school leaders and other practitioners, students, educators of school leadership preparation programmes as well as researchers in the field on the continent and the diaspora.

Recenzii

Literature has convincingly revealed that leaders in general and school leaders in particular need to be prepared for leadership. School leadership is not the same work as teaching in the classroom, therefore successful leadership entails more than having been a good teacher. Such leadership preparation is a scarcity in Africa. Thus this book will contribute immensely towards literature in this very important area.
The chapters are well researched, well argued and skillfully deploy theoretical frameworks to aid in the analyses of empirical content. I am confident that the book will become an essential reading on school leadership preparation and development in Africa for students, academics, scholars and researchers. It will draw readers on account of its scholarly merit, its engaging and accessible style, and will not only boost the literature in this field but also stir lively debate.
