Welcome
Introduction
We are pleased to announce that the Asia Pacific Centre for Leadership and Change (APCLC) of The Hong Kong Institute of Education and Institute of Schooling Reform and Development at the East China Normal University co-host the Asia Leadership Roundtable 2013 in Shanghai, China on March 10-12, 2013.
Purpose
There is a substantial history of theoretical and empirical research that establishes the connection between leadership and the context in which it is exercised. More specifically, successful leaders adapt their practices to the context in which they are working. Here, for example, 'context' includes the organizational as well as the cultural or national context.
This year's Roundtable theme "Leadership in Context" allows regional and global education scholars and practitioners come together to explore how school leaders respond to the opportunities, constraints and conditions that characterize the organizational and cultural contexts in which they work.
Format
The meeting format will emphasize interaction. Participation is by-invitation only, and limited to 60+ scholars, scholar-practitioners, training managers, policymakers, and principals from 14 countries / territories in the region and beyond.
Goals
Our goals for the Roundtable 2013 are:
