Exploring topics ranging from the leverage of leadership to religious education, this text brings together a wide range of case studies, experiences, and examinations to shed light to the different approaches of Islamic-based educational leadership, administration, and management. This book will support researchers, doctoral students, and scholars involved with multicultural education, school leadership and management studies, and education policy and politics more widely to explore new theories and practices that pave the way for future educational systems to meet faith-based demand in the school choice era"--

"This book foregrounds the voices of women in educational leadership to draw on the power of diverse perspectives and to create an environment that better embraces a broad range of leadership styles. Chapters explore formal and informal female educational leadership practices, and examine the methods and approaches used by successful female leaders across West Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Australia. The book examines how best to humanize educational leadership in a way that invests in the unique skills and talents that female leaders' possess, and identifies a leadership model that is situated within a range of intersecting theoretical frameworks that revolve around collective leadership, transformation theories and community partnerships. In doing so, the book elevates education into the sphere of comprehensiveness, inclusion, equity, sustainability, and social justice. By sharing the lived experience of female leaders using a multi-perspective narrative approach, the book develops and hones exemplary educational leadership and community-engaged practices for the good of all. This volume will be key reading for scholars, doctoral students, and researchers engaged in fields such as education policy, women's studies, and international and comparative education among others"--

This qualitative study voices teachers' and school leaders' perspectives on teacher leadership in the aftermath of the educational disruption that lasted over two consecutive academic years. Research studies have documented the influences of this disruption on teacher leadership as it unfolded in schools worldwide, including in Qatar. This research examines teacher leadership manifestations after schools reopened for onsite teaching and learning, and it focuses on the following questions: What are the main changes in teachers' leadership practices based on teachers' and school leaders' perspectives? To what extent did teachers develop different leadership practices towards students, colleagues, school leaders, and parents? What have teachers taken away from their experiences during COVID-19 that they will use in classrooms in the future? The sample is comprised of 14 educators working in Qatar government schools. The educators include primary school teachers (N = 10), vice-principals (N = 3), and a principal (N = 1). Findings reveal that teachers acquired adaptation skills that they carried to the school context. The educators further expanded their communication skills to encompass multiple stakeholders inside and outside the school. Lastly, the educators acquired technological skills that have supported student learning and professional learning. These teacher leadership manifestations were informal and voluntary and did not have a formal status or recognition. Despite these continuous changes and new requirements, several manifestations of teacher leadership, which had emerged during the pandemic, had disappeared. The study thus argues that the relapse of specific teacher leadership indicators may be due to the failure of policymakers and school administrations to establish systemic and systematic systems that support teacher leaders. Recommendations for researchers and practetioners are provided.
