“…In addition to using the same keywords, we also scanned each volume of several key journals and used a snowball strategy. For example, by scanning the table of contents, we found four papers about school principalship in China in one special issue of Compare from 1998 (Bush, Coleman and Si, 1998;Bush, Qiang and Fang, 1998;Coleman et al, 1998;Ryan et al, 1998). However, our earlier keyword search result had included only one of these papers (Ryan et al, 1998).…”

“…When comparing more recent papers (e.g., Pisapia and Lin, 2011;Qian and Walker, 2011b) with those published in the first decade (e.g., Bush, Qiang and Fang, 1998;Zhang, 2004, 2005), it appears that the overt influence of the Party and the socialist ideology on principals has somewhat diminished. However, the state and the Party continued to define the meaning of successful principalship (Walker and Qian, 2012b) and determine the content of principal professional development programmes (Chen et al, 2011;Zheng et al, 2013).…”

“…In the study period's earlier years, such collaborations resulted mainly from large international research projects (e.g., Bush, Coleman and Si, 1998;Bush, Qiang and Fang, 1998;Ryan et al, 1998). Over the past decade, such collaborations usually came from mentoring relationships between international scholars (acting as mentors) and the mainland students they supervised (e.g., Ribbins and Zhang, 2003, 2006.…”

“…Bunnell points out how international schools are not particularly good at engaging with local communities (2005, p. 56). Context is important in educational leadership (Bush, Quiang, & Fang, 1998; Walker & Dimmock, 2002; Southworth, 2005), and so international schools offer leaders an environment that exists outside of a school district; they are school islands . In this ‘island culture’ context of leadership, international school directors appear in two ways: as isolated islands of Anglo culture, but also (wittingly or not) as colonising islands of Anglo culture.…”

This article presents original research into International Baccalaureate international schools’ directors in Western Europe, based on multiphase contact with six director participants over two years and employing an aspect of critical-phenomenology. Successful leadership in this context responds to market demands with a commodification of Anglo identity. Service emerges as central to leadership, closely linked to cultural identity. Female participants appear as more successfully balanced directors. Directors indicate societal values as being more important than the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile.

“…Drawing on a systematic review of 36 Chinese education journals, and of doctoral dissertations, they found 44 empirically-based studies from an initial pool of 235 sources. Half of these papers relate to teaching research groups, a long-standing feature of Chinese education (Bush et al, 1998), which involve collective class preparation, demonstration lessons, and lesson observation. The authors conclude that PLCs can help to orient schools towards genuine teacher collaboration.…”
