“…In England, the tensions associated with different beliefs and values about the role of education, schooling and the role of the headteacher were reported by Gilbert (1981) as conflicts between tradition versus progress and equity versus elitism. Tensions were also reported by Holmes (1982), Jones and Keast (1985) and McQueeney (1985), who identified the dilemmas faced by English headteachers who were both educators of staff and accountable for their performance. In Australia, Smyth (1985) argued for school leadership to move away from ‘directing, commanding, controlling and coordinating’ (p. 186) to enabling teachers to have more power over their pedagogy.…”

This paper reviews a selection of literature on secondary principal practice from which to propose an approach for further research. The review demonstrates that applications of Bourdieu’s theory of practice have contributed to understandings about secondary principal practice, and that the distinction he made between rules and strategies has the potential to provide a useful approach to gaining new understandings of everyday secondary principal practice. The paper signals that it is timely to undertake research into secondary principal practice in Aotearoa New Zealand, and that applying Bourdieu’s conceptualising of strategies to this research has the potential to reveal some of the unconscious, unstated and less visible practices of everyday leadership. Further, applying Bourdieu’s theory of practice to analysing and explaining this data on secondary principal practice may reveal new insights about what secondary principals do and why.
