Models of educational leadership from around the world

Educational Leadership

In the course of my life I have been fortunate enough to travel and to discover professionally different cultures educational cultures. Each of them taught me otherness and the encounter of the other. In this text I try to give an account of the way in which the passage through the other elevates us and inspires us. My experience is insufficient to divert national cultures opened on the world and complex from some meetings from a few encounters and say "this is how they teach in this country in such and such a country", it is more modestly a question of identifying questions and hypotheses likely to illustrate forms of educational leadership educational across the world.

Visit to Birmingham: teacher coaching

As part of a European program I was able to visit a private school in Birmingham. The school was located in the suburbs The school was located in the suburbs of Birmingham and taught students between the ages of 12 and 14.

The girls in sari sing the national anthem. The flag is unfurled. Petals of roses escape from it. In impeccable English, the director pronounced words that in other words that in other countries would be described as very nationalistic. The The continent was to become a "new India Company".

Not only the group practices and peer learning are perfectly mastered, but they are also combined with but they are also combined with digital tools and platforms and other social social learning.
