"This volume makes it very clear, however, that there is no one approach to standards-based reform and countries change, there is a danger in paying attention to its evolution and impact in only one context. Louis Volante has drawn together descriptions from a wide range of countries, all involved in large-scale reform and using standards and assessments as part of their process. What becomes very obvious is that the language may be the same but the words reflect different contexts and can represent very different ideals, values, and processes. "

"Scott Richardson gives us a finely detailed experiential account of how gender and teaching are woven together in public schools. Through his own memories and the narrativized experiences of his research subjects, Richardson demonstrates both the institutional benefits associated with being male and the fragility of masculinity. Membership in the “Boys’ Club” of hypermasculinity requires constant checking, surveillance, and choices that fit within the narrow range of dominant masculinity (so well detailed by R. W. Connell). Richardson’s causal style parallels the ease with which men in leadership and teaching positions articulate their allegiance to gender norms and one another, and in effect, set critique of such gender norms.

""Since the late nineteenth-century emergence of japonisme in the Western art world, the work of ukiyo-e artists such as Hokusai, Hiroshige, and Utamaro has come to be widely appreciated in the West. Recognition of other genres of Edo-period painting has, however, lagged behind. In this volume, noted scholar Imahashi Riko brings new light to a pioneering group of young artists who flourished for less than a decade in the 1770's before disappearing into obscurity. While the artists of the the Akita Ranga school belonged to the Akita domain in the north of Japan, it was in Edo (present-day Tokyo), the political and cultural center of the country, that-during Japan's long period of national seclusion-they encountered books imported from the West and sought to develop a new style combining Western perspective methods and chiaroscuro with traditional motifs and compositions of Asian-bird-and-flower and landscape painting. The masterpiece of the Akita Ranga school, and the focus of this book, is Shinobazu Pond by Odano Natake. In this one work of art, which seems on the surface to be a tranquil landscape painting, are hidden allusions to portraits of beauties in Chinese art and literature, to legends about Shinobazu Pond in Japan and West Lake in China, and to contemporary Edo popular culture. Drawing on a quarter of a century of close study of Edo-period art and culture, Imahashi provides, in this major work of scholarhip, valuable context to the oeuvre of a group struggling to reconcile the art and thought of East and West a century before the 'opening' of Japan in the Meiji period, as well as insight into the thinking of Naotake, whose tragically short career was ended by his death in 1780, at the age of thirty." from back cover."

"Para peneliti telah mencoba mengidentifikasi 'jalur' praktik kepemimpinan kepala sekolah yang berdampak paling signifikan pada peningkatan kualitas pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Di sisi lain, terdapat bukti bahwa pengaruh kepemimpinan sekolah terhadap pemelajaran siswa bersifat tidak langsung melalui pemelajaran profesional guru. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki kepemimpinan dalam organisasi sekolah menggunakan pendekatan analisis jejaring sosial (SNA) dalam konteks budaya di satuan pendidikan kerjasama (SPK) Indonesia. Desain survei daring cross-sectional digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data dari SPK yang menjadi subyek multiple case study ini. SNA diterapkan untuk mengeksplorasi pola relasi kepemimpinan formal dan informal serta pengaruhnya terhadap pemelajaran profesional guru. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun kepala sekolah masih memiliki pengaruh paling signifikan, terdapat individu-individu yang menjadi pemimpin informal yang berpengaruh terhadap pemelajaran profesional guru. Kehadiran dan identifikasi pemimpin informal ini adalah bukti penerapan kepemimpinan terdistribusi (distributed leadership), sebagai praktik kepemimpinan paling efektif berdasarkan konteks budaya dan organisasi sekolah subyek.

Researchers have attempted to identify the 'pathways' of school leadership practices that have the most significant impact on improving the quality of teaching and learning. On the other hand, there is evidence that the influence of school leadership on student learning is indirect through teachers' professional learning. This study aims to investigate leadership practice in school organizations using a social network analysis (SNA) approach within the cultural context of Indonesian international schools. A cross-sectional online survey design was used to collect data from the subject schools of this multiple case study. SNA was applied to explore the patterns of formal and informal leadership relations and their influence on teachers' professional learning. The research findings indicate that although school principals still have the most significant influence, there are individuals who serve as informal leaders that have an impact on teachers' professional learning. The presence and identification of these informal leaders provide evidence of the practice of distributed leadership, as the most effective leadership practice based on the cultural context and the subject school organization."
