Leadership and Religious Schools: International Perspectives and Challenges

‘Whenever we teach, we lead. There is no pedagogical relationship outside this principle asymmetry, so that leadership doesn’t only concern principles or headteachers. Especially in religious schools, every teacher is asked to shed light on how he or she aims to make this religious identity relevant to his or her daily teaching practice. I recommend this book for both school leaders and teachers, so that they might become aware of their leading options and to critically reflect and consciously develop them. Leadership and Religious Schools fosters fruitful reflection about the fact that you always lead when you teach, and vice versa. ‘ —Stefan Altmeyer, Associate Professor For Religious Education At University Of Bonn, Germany Endorsement
