This book argues for the importance of context in understanding educational leadership. It discusses the value of leadership in explaining the performance of educational organizations and considers a more balanced approach that emphasizes both structural factors and agency factors in understanding what these organizations can achieve. It also observes the interplay between leaders’ actions and context with regard to decision-making, and in turn contends that large-scale theories are far too coarse to accurately account for the enactment of leadership in shifting and dynamic contexts. Drawing on recent and evolving branches of the neurosciences, the book maps out future and promising avenues, theoretically and empirically, that will help readers to understand what actually goes on in the day-to-day activities of leading and learning in context, and to improve it.

Culturally Responsive School Leadership focuses on how school leaders can effectively serve minoritized students—those who have been historically marginalized in school and society. The book demonstrates how leaders can engage students, parents, teachers, and communities in ways that positively impact learning by honoring indigenous heritages and local cultural practices. Muhammad Khalifa explores three basic premises. First, that a full-fledged and nuanced understanding of “cultural responsiveness” is essential to successful school leadership. Second, that cultural responsiveness will not flourish and succeed in schools without sustained efforts by school leaders to define and promote it. Finally, that culturally responsive school leadership comprises a number of crucial leadership behaviors, which include critical self-reflection; the development of culturally responsive teachers; the promotion of inclusive, anti-oppressive school environments; and engagement with students’ indigenous community contexts. Based on an ethnography of a school principal who exemplifies the practices and behaviors of culturally responsive school leadership, the book provides educators with pedagogy and strategies for immediate implementation.
