The two volumes are rich in research resources–from different types of leadership in education to reflections on teacher leadership. The handbook has references that are beneficial in improving or refining a research work on leadership.
Each study sheds a new dimension within a concept of leadership such as the challenge of reconciling conflicting backgrounds and norms within a society or the lack of attention in research given on the role of governance in shaping school communities or the effects of cross cultural differences in learning. These educational contexts give a researcher issues to reflect and to devise research work in the attempt to answer how one can enhance the process of school improvement.
Furthermore, materials given in the handbook are the foundation for more research work to be done and for more answers to be searched. Each article encourages the reader to ponder on the findings and views as the writer/s presented it.
Teachers, along with principals, as well as all educational personnel involved in teaching and researching will find that this handbook offers informative data which will encourage one to foster educational innovation and change.
