This book provides an interesting summary of key themes on school leadership within East Asian contexts, using Singapore as a case study. Drawing from a study using Rasch analysis and Hierarchical Linear Modelling techniques, the book will provide international readers with an in-depth understanding of school leadership in Singapore through the critical analyses of a range of themes. These themes include instructional leadership, distributed leadership, work values, school culture, leadership development, along with their attendant concerns such as hierarchical work relations within policy calls for innovation, school capacity, school autonomy and policy implementation, continual leadership development, leadership succession, and leadership effectiveness. The study is based on a nation-wide survey of 224 schools out of about 365 in Singapore, with participation from 224 principals, 322 vice-principals, 686 middle leaders, and 2513 teachers. This book will provide a more nuanced understanding and appreciation of the school leadership phenomenon contextualized within an East Asian context surfacing social, cultural and political forces shaping school leadership.
