Leadership as Design in School Restructuring

Abstract

Examines leadership and school restructuring. Drawing upon postmodern/poststructural theory, argues that a new conception of educational leadership is required as reformers contemplate educational reconfiguration. Argues that the metaphorical notion of leadership as design is appropriate and valuable as reformers seek to consider plans to restructure schools. Traces the likely practical bearings of leadership as design upon the roles, rules, relationships, and results attached to present‐day school restructuring efforts.
