Lancement de livres / Book Launch “Leading under pressure: Educational leadership in Neoliberal times”

C’est un plaisir de vous souhaiter la bienvenue à nos deux lancements de livres.

Mon nom est Stephanie Chitpin. Mon livre “Understanding Leadership in Educational Contexts - A Case Study Approach” a été publié en mars de l’an dernier. Dans cet ouvrage, je parle des directeurs d’école qui travaillent dans des environnements compliqués et aux multiples facettes en ce qui a trait à la prise de décision opérationnelle. Le livre fait partie de la série Transforming Education through Critical Leadership, Policy and Practice, qui traite de ce qui se passe maintenant dans nos écoles. On y discute ce qu’on enseigne et apprend, ce que nous savons déjà, ce qu’on découvre, et comment les leaders scolaires prennent des décisions dans le cadre d’événements spécifiques qui arrivent régulièrement dans leurs écoles.

Notre deuxième livre, édité par le Dr. Robert White et moi-même, est intitulé “Leading Under Pressure - Educational Leadership in Neoliberal Times” et on y discute des leaders qui mènent par l’exemple, et non par mandat. Ils sont assez rares parce que les meilleurs leaders sont trop intelligents pour s’attaquer à une tâche aussi ingrate. C’est là que le livre débute. Dans un environnement de plus en plus hostile aux niveaux politique, commercial et naturel, il y a des lueurs d’espoir.

It is a pleasure to welcome you to our two book launches.

My name is Stephanie Chitpin. My book “Understanding Leadership in Educational Contexts - A Case Study Approach” was published in March last year. In this book, I talked about school principals who work in complicated and multifaceted environments when it comes to operational decision-making. The book is part of the Transforming Education through Critical Leadership, Policy and Practice series, which is about what is happening in our schools now. It discusses what is being taught and learned, what we already know, what is being discovered, and how school leaders make decisions about specific events that regularly occur in their schools.

Our second book, edited by Dr. Robert White and myself, is titled “Leading Under Pressure - Educational Leadership in Neoliberal Times” and discusses leaders who lead by example, not by mandate. They are quite rare because the best leaders are too smart to tackle such a thankless task. This is where the book begins. In an increasingly hostile political, commercial and natural environment, there are glimmers of hope.
