Читать книгу Stories of Caring School Leadership - Mark A. Smylie - Страница 15

¹This introduction is adapted from sections of the book Caring School Leadership (Smylie, Murphy, & Louis, 2020). We do not refer here to the substantial literature that we used in that book to develop and support our arguments. For specific citations, readers are asked to consult that volume.

We begin this book of stories by examining the concept of caring and why we should care about caring in schools. We examine key elements that make a person’s actions and interactions caring. We also explore how caring works—that is, how it leads to particular outcomes for the ones cared for and the ones caring. We apply these ideas to school leadership, presenting a model of caring school leadership and discussing important considerations for its practice.
