She presents the investigation into the impact of learning-centred leadership on the social capital of groups and individuals within the school, thus viewing leadership as a social transformation activity.Â
The purpose of the study was to find out how principalship is perceived and practiced in international schools’ context, and how the interplay of agency and structure influences practice and leadership development across the school. For this purpose, the research used a multiple case study design that incorporated mixed-methods including online surveys, semi-structured in-depth interviews, interactive focus groups, observation, and document review.Â
The data collected was analysed to understand the depth of principals’ practice and to examine how they interact with their context to develop leadership and influence social capital by leading a pedagogically and a socially focused learning-centred approach.
