Abstract

Much of the research on school leadership emanates from western contexts, and scholars in these countries have great influence on educational leadership theory, policy and practice. Leadership knowledge, theorising and practices can no longer be generated predominantly by scholars from the North. Grounded in a framework of decolonising educational leadership, this paper examines the practices and approaches of school leaders in Kenya. Utilising a narrative inquiry methodological approach, the leadership perspectives and practices of secondary school principals were examined. Findings reveal convergences and departures with contemporary leadership theories and practices, different approaches to student engagement and success, desire for a more consistent approach to school leadership preparation and complexities navigating socio-cultural issues. Findings of this research have implications for leadership preparation and development in the Global South and broader educational leadership discourse.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
