Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Those of us who study educational leadership know that without effective leaders at the helm, school improvement endeavors are bound to fail.
To address this issue, I am excited to announce the upcoming Special Issue of Education Sciences. This edition will delve into the latest theories, practices, and research pertaining to the role of school leaders in driving forward school improvement programs. We invite articles that introduce innovative ideas, propose future research directions, or explore the optimal methods for preparing building and district leaders to effectively lead school improvement initiatives. All methodological approaches are welcome, as well as a range of theoretical perspectives: for example, the improvement of science and program evaluation. In addition, examples from various countries around the world will be critical for understanding what works across different contexts.
As the Guest Editor of this Special Issue, I am eager to receive contributions that shed light on the importance of leadership in the context of educational improvement. By fostering a deep understanding of this critical aspect, we can pave the way for meaningful progress in our schools.
I look forward to receiving your valuable submissions and witnessing the collective wisdom of our esteemed colleagues in this field. Together, let us work towards empowering our leaders and fostering successful school improvement initiatives.
Warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Liz Hollingworth
Guest Editor
