Paper Session
Contribution
In this presentation we discuss findings from a review articles on Australian principal leadership published between 2006 to 2013 in the two major publication sources for this research, Leading and Managing, and the Journal of Educational Administration, and in two other important Australian educational research journals, the Australian Journal of Education, and Australian Educational Researcher (Gurr & Drysdale, 2016). The review updates an earlier important review by Mulford (2007). Areas explored in the presentation include principal development, school improvement, successful school leadership, leading Catholic schools, leading small, rural, and remote schools, focussing on teaching, strategic leadership, governance, and leadership behavior. We connect our findings with those of other researchers in Europe and across the world through consideration of reviews of principal leadership research contained in Ärlestig, Day and Johansson (2016).
