I den här boken tar författarna upp en av ledarskapets viktigaste men ofta försummade aspekter - hållbarhet. Författarna diskuterar sju principer för hållbart ledarskap:Djup i lärandet framför ytliga provresultatLängd och långsiktighet genom planerade och effektivt hanterade ledarskiftenBredd i inflytandet, genom att skolledning blir ett gemensamt ansvarRättvisa genom att ledningens handlande aktivt gynnar andra skolorMångfald och sammanhållning i stället för standardisering och likriktningResursrikedom som bevarar och förnyar snarare än bränner ut ledares krafterBevarande som bygger på det bästa ur det förflutna för att skapa en bättre framtidDenna synnerligen angelägna bok vänder sig till lärarstuderande och deltagare i rektorsutbildning samt verksamma lärare och skolledare. Den kan också bidra till fördjupad kunskap och diskussion om skolledning och skolutveckling för verksamma politiker och tjänstemän på kommunal och statlig nivå.

The success of school reform measures greatly depends on the support and commitment of teachers. This book examines the realities of educational change from the frontline perspective of reform-minded teachers. It charts the perceptions and experiences of twenty-nine teachers in grades 7 and 8 from four school districts--showing how they grappled with such initiatives as integrated curriculum, common learning standards, and alternative modes of assessment.This book moves beyond the bandwagons of rhetorical change and examines how these changes work in practice for better and for worse. Authors Andy Hargreaves and Lorna Earl focus on how reform proposals have brought new complexities to teaching practice and why major investments of time and support are required if teaching innovations are to become lasting and effective. Most importantly, they highlight the intense emotional demands that school change imposes on teachers, and they outline practical strategies for helping teachers through the difficult transition process--thus ensuring that worthwhile reforms flourish and endure.

The rules of the world are changing. It is time for the rules of teaching and teachers' work to change with them.' This is the challenge which Andy Hargreaves sets out in his book on teachers' work and culture in the postmodern world.Drawing on his current research with teachers at all levels, Hargreaves shows through their own vivid words what teaching is really like, how it is already changing, and why. He argues that the structures and cultures of teaching need to change even more if teachers are not to be trapped by guilt, pressed by time and overburdened by decisions imposed upon them.Provocative yet practical, this book is written for teachers and those who work with teachers, and for researchers who want to understand teaching better in the postmodern age.

Focusing on change and reform in secondary and elementary schools, this book explores the possibilities for better schooling for early adolescents.

What does it mean to become an educator during one of the most profound periods of educational and social change in modern history?

There’s more to all of us than what meets the eye A perfect storm is upon us and educators are in the middle of it. Identity issues often incite and divide us, but they are actually our way out of the storm. No one should be oppressed or have to hide who they are, and young people need to be prepared for a future where they can learn to live together and help others belong. In their beautifully written book, Dennis Shirley and Andy Hargreaves brilliantly show how we can and must engage with young people’s identities in their fullness and complexity. Rooted in classical and contemporary theories of identity, extensive research, and in sheer common sense, their book takes us from bitterness to belonging and includes: Examples of how schools seek to address identity and belongingStrategies to deal with the raging identity controversies in our schools and societiesCharts and graphics to help build inclusive professional communitiesConstant invitations to readers to apply ideas to their own work

In the face of a global pandemic, catastrophic weather events, war, racism, and attacks on democracy, how should educational leaders respond? How can leaders enable their schools and districts to be agile, safe, and effective places of learning that help young people develop the knowledge and character that will empower them to shape their futures? While some schools and districts have taken top-down or bottom-up approaches, renowned education scholar Andy Hargreaves explores a new type of leadership – "leadership from the middle" – which becomes a driver of transformational change. Drawing from research with educational leaders across the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, Hargreaves discusses a type of leadership that regards obstacles as opportunities, embraces leadership paradox, and is collaborative, inspiring, and inclusive. This ground-breaking book unpacks not only what this type of leadership looks like, but also how it is most effective in addressing complex problems and in educating young people to develop diverse global competencies to prepare them for their futures.Winner of “Society of Professors of Education 2025 Outstanding Book Award Honorable Mention”

Teaching in Context provides new evidence from a range of leading scholars showing that teachers become more effective when they work in organizations that support them in comprehensive and coordinated ways. The studies featured in the book suggest an alternative approach to enhancing teacher quality: creating conditions and school structures that facilitate the transmission and sharing of knowledge among teachers, allowing teachers to work together effectively, and capitalizing on what we know about how educators learn and improve. The studies also show how social dynamics influence the speed, depth, and success with which any new idea is implemented, and how policies enacted without adequate consideration of their impact on the social fabric of schools can produce unintended negative consequences.Policies aimed at improving teaching should focus on strengthening the organization as a whole so that all teachers are likely to improve. The chapters in this book point to the need to reevaluate current policies for assessing and ensuring teacher effectiveness, and establish the foundation for a more thoughtful, research-informed approach.Contributors: Elaine M.
