Vibrant, quality, inclusive, and performing education systems remain a constant aspiration for all countries and educational stakeholders, and are more important than ever given the uncertain and disrupted times in which we live. Ground-breaking and timely, Leading Education Systems explores the nature, dispositions and context of the leadership of schooling systems. Acknowledging the once-in-a-lifetime stimulus of a pandemic, this timely edited collection highlights the opportunity we have for comprehensive and complex new discussions around education systems. Drawing on the perspectives of a diverse range of global thought leaders, academics and scholar-practitioners, this text is a springboard for the re-imagination of education system leadership. Supporting and fortifying leaders to question traditional models of system leadership, Brown and Duignan envision how system leaders might act in collaboration with others to lead differently. Their book is a must-have call to action for education stakeholders to lead us into a new and different age, and a sustainable future.

‘Guiding and inspiring systems of schools is increasingly complex given the myriad of demands placed on school leaders. The value of school systems in realising quality learning outcomes for students, is increasingly supported by evidence based research and the practical experience of those who lead schools. Stephen Brown and Patrick Duignan have brought the experience and perspective of system leaders to this largely unchartered territory. Leading Education Systems draws on the wisdom of educators and researchers to provide system leaders with practical and thought provoking strategies as we come to terms with the immediate and long term implications of COVID-19. As we look to a world beyond the pandemic, the compilation of the experience and insights of those who have worked in Australia and internationally provides a valuable resource for those leading education systems now and in the future. What lies ahead is uncertain, but as educators we can draw on the vast wisdom and knowledge of current leaders and the lessons they have learnt, so that our students will not just survive, but thrive in the world that will emerge as this decade unfolds.’
