Islam, Education and Freedom is an open access book exploring six key areas of freedom: identity, acceptance, pedagogy, conflict, trust, and love. Based on a qualitative case study of a progressive Islamic school in Southern California, North Star Academy, the book illustrates through the voices of the participants how each particular freedom was applied in the school. The authors show how the six freedoms were understood, taught, and practiced with the aim of developing courageous and confident American Muslims. It explores the ways the school leaders facilitate and impart each freedom and the influence this has on the development of American Muslim students' identity.The book culminates with a model for freedom in Islamic schooling. It concludes with three key insights: (1) Islamic schooling can facilitate or constrain the way that leaders, teachers, students, and the school community experience freedom; (2) as freedom is a core value of Islam, it should be made central to the conceptualization and practice of Islamic schooling; and, (3) Islamic schooling, when grounded in the six freedoms, can be a pathway to comprehensive school reform and is applicable to Islamic schools. The book includes a Foreword written by Khaula Murtadha, Associate Vice Chancellor for the Office of Community Engagement, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, USA.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

The book also develops our understanding of minority education in the reality of conflicts between the state and the minority's identity. The authors believe that school leaders’ participation in the extended community will improve and affect the development of schools and enable leaders to negotiate cultural, social and political complexities.

This book shows how critical theory can help school leaders and administrators to prepare students for the ever-changing political, cultural, economic, and societal conditions of the world. The contributors use ideas from critical theorists including Adorno, Fromm, Marcuse and Habermas and connect them with contemporary theories and debates in educational leadership from moral education to criticaltheories on race, to culturally relevant practice.Educational Leadership and Critical Theory challenges the misconceptions of many present-day educators about the analytical lens offered by the Frankfurt School theorists which is often dismissed by policymakers and practitioners. Written by leading scholars based in the UK, USA, and Canada, the contributors emphasize and explain the importance of educational aesthetics, dialectics, education and civilization, the structural transformation of education’s place in the public sphere, and education as revolution and enlightenment.

This book provides insights into the experiences of leadership socialisation for school leaders in four sub-Saharan African countries. The chapters present case studies of school leaders in Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and South Africa, before offering a contextually grounded framework for school leadership socialisation. In contrast to other studies which focus on experiences of newly appointed school principals, this book presents lived experiences of school leadership against a complex backdrop of social, political and economic trends in the postcolonial African context. Drawing on socialisation theory to re-imagine the school leadership preparation and development landscape, the authors go beyond experiences of role learning by new school principals. Moorosi and Grant ask critical questions about the contextual realities in which would-be school leaders develop leadership attributes, skills and knowledge, and dispositions that prepare them for, and socialise them into, leadership. Country case studies allow the authors to focus on lived experiences of school leaders, preserving the contextual uniqueness while allowing for comparative analysis, cross-cultural learning and discussion.

Worldwide women constitute the majority of the teaching force, but men are more likely to achieve headship. Internationally a number of scholars working within sociology and the sociology of education have focused on the continued influence of gender on the shaping of identity and choices in relation to leadership, work and home. But in Greece the under-representation of women in educational leadership has received limited attention. Why are there so few women in educational leadership? How are leadership and gender constructed by men and women head teachers and teachers? Are the perceptions of men and women different and gendered? What is the future for women in leadership in Greece?Emmy Papanastasiou uses qualitative data from interviews with men and women head teachers and teachers in Greece and analyzes them using a feminist social constructionist framework to provide some answers to these key questions. In doing so, the book sheds light on social, cultural and political factors that influence women’s potential advancement in educational leadership.

This book draws on insights from 37 women leaders, collected from 2020 to 2022, around women’s experiences with gender and racial bias, resilience, social justice, and leadership strategies and challenges. The respondents possess different educational backgrounds, reflect different ethnic, racial and age groups, and inhabit varied roles and organizations, from public school districts, charter school networks, graduate schools of education, and partner/support organizations. Jana L. Carlisle responds to the underrepresentation of women in education leadership positions and the complicated and veiled routes women must take to ascend to leadership, and proposes the most applicable models, standards, strategies, and supports vital to women educational leaders.

This book traces the policymaking processes of the Review of Funding for Schooling (2011), which fundamentally changed school funding policy in Australia. School funding is a key element of any equitable school system. This is because the distribution of government funding for schooling leads to significant differences in the educational opportunities available for individual students, schools, and communities. The book shows that although education policy is often thought about as an abstract process, it is a series of small critical moments that create the policy and progress implementation towards or away from equity in school funding. Sinclair offers a new theory for understanding and then impacting in real-time the policymaking process towards equity in school funding, the “critical moments theory”. In doing so, he identifies where education leaders, teachers, policymakers, scholars, and community members all have the agency to influence policy from conceptualisation to implementation.

This collection critically explores the crucial intersection between educational leadership and political literacy. By examining case studies, theoretical frameworks, and practical strategies, it elucidates how cultivating political literacy among educational leaders enhances governance and resource allocation within schools and serves as a catalyst for fostering an informed, engaged citizenry.Answering the pressing need for school leaders to develop a deep understanding of political processes and structures, this practically orientated book will equip them with the skills necessary to navigate complex decision-making scenarios. Taking a holistic approach, the essays in this volume extend the notion of the politics of schooling beyond traditional notions of educational leadership and encompass broader societal implications. They consider civic engagement and critical thinking throughout the educational ecosystem, from educational leaders to teachers and students; and how politics at local and national levels influences school-level decision-making and policy. Four sections will cover theoretical foundations; studies of political literacy in practice; tools and strategies for political literacy; and future orientations. Exploring a range of contexts from urban, suburban and rural schools, and with contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in the field, this volume will offer invaluable insights and actionable recommendations for educators, policymakers, and anyone invested in promoting democratic participation and social justice within educational contexts. Educational Leadership and Political Literacy is essential reading for those seeking to be empowered as school leaders to cultivate the educational conditions that can foster an informed citizenry capable of addressing the complex political challenges of our time.
