This groundbreaking volume encourages today’s educational leaders to reposition the way they think about leadership and its challenges. Experienced school and district leaders reveal how they conceptualize their roles, how they learn by posing and solving problems of practice, and how they cope with increasing expectations and complexity in their work. This compilation of compelling narratives demonstrates the power and efficacy of what can happen when school, district, and other educational leaders position themselves as inquirers, bringing forth broader social justice and equity implications. Readers see how leadership can illuminate and improve many aspects of institutional life and create intellectually demanding and rich learning environments for both adults and children. At its heart, Repositioning Educational Leadership is an invitation to practitioners and scholars to make space for new critical questions and perspectives. This book nurtures an expanded discourse about leadership, generated by leaders themselves, and arising from some of the most vexing and often invisible aspects of their important work.

“This book unpacks a smorgasbord of real-life work situations that will allow the reader to reflect on these experiences and extract the best practices of leadership.”
—Daniel A. Domenech, executive director, AASA

“Provides invaluable insights into what the complex work of leading from an inquiry stance looks like in different contexts.”
—Irma Zardoya, NYC Leadership Academy

“This book is a key contribution to the reinvention of the field of educational leadership, and it is crucial for preparing future leaders.”
—Michael A. Copland, deputy superintendent, Bellingham (WA) Public Schools
