School Policies, Leadership, And Learning With Technologies : An International Comparative Study, Kathryn Moyle
Professor Kathryn Moyle (consultant)
Little research has been conducted into the links or intersections between school leadership, teaching and learning with technologies, and the quality of students' outcomes at school. While it is recognised that principals hold a central position in leading schools pedagogical and administrative practices, little is known about what is the role of the school principal in implementing policies that are aimed at improving the quality of teaching and learning in schools, or to achieve smart student learning outcomes.

Finding Leadership For The Internationalization Of U.S. Higher Education, Michael Smithee
Michael B. Smithee
The internationalization of U.S. higher education has depended on leadership from a variety of sources in different strengths and purposes over time.

Rebecca Hovey
Leadership education in the 21st century cannot ignore the global risks, opportunities and realities of our interconnected world; so too international education cannot avoid its responsibility to provide the knowledge and vision needed to resolve critical issues we will face as a global community. We argue that a model of international education is needed which acknowledges the diverse global community in which institutions are based and learning takes place. In linking leadership and international education, we propose an alternative approach to both based on recognition, reciprocity and responsibility toward others.
