Abstract

In 2009, an
idea grew from a conversation between a British scholar and his American
counterpart regarding a research collaboration exploring educational leadership
across countries. This dialogue initiated the creation of the International
School Leaders Development Network (ISLDN), which would receive support from
the British Educational Leadership, Management and Administration Society
(BELMAS) as well as the University Council for Educational Administration
(UCEA). By 2011, the project planning commenced and two distinct research
strands identified, leadership in high needs schools and leadership for social
justice. 

Keywords
