Review :
Seldom does anyone capture the essential facets of school leadership in an ever-changing world of education as does this book, edited by Peter Litchka. Searching for the Globe for Answers-Preparing and Supporting School Leaders is incredibly informative and relevant for aspiring and current school leaders, as well as for policymakers and educational scholars. This book will have a significant impact on all who read it. Drawing on the extensive knowledge of experts from nations around the world, the authors provide comprehensive assessments of the challenges and opportunities when dealing with educational change initiatives at the national and local levels.They eloquently describe the tensions faced by educational leaders who, facing widespread educational reform, try to find balance between their passion for teaching, learning, and leadership growth and development with national and local educational improvement initiatives.They articulately express the personal, professional, and systemic consequences of school reform initiatives, including both intended and unintended outcomes. The importance of education is being felt more because of globalization. Therefore, schools need to focus on a ‘positive climate’. The greatest role in creation a positive climate at schools lies on school leaders. Countries are also redefining the roles of leaders towards creating that positive school climate. In this book, based on his competence in the field, editor Peter Litchka has made a very valuable contribution to the field by bringing together scholars from many different countries. This book is a guide for contemporary leader roles.
