Leading from the Shadows: School Librarian Leadership
Newsum, Janice Moore
Palgrave Studies on Leadership and Learning in Teacher Education
The leadership of librarians (notably, school librarians) is sometimes invisible, or at least rarely acknowledged. This chapter explores one academic's experiences as a school librarian and the inherent leadership roles embedded in her work. Despite years of impact studies, the visibility of the school librarian as a competent school or university leader has remained elusive. Recent shifts in the paradigm of the principal as the sole positional leader to a distributed leadership model has enabled other educators, particularly school librarians, to become engaged leaders in literacy, reading promotion, information fluency, personalized learning, and positive student learning outcomes. This chapter will examine the leadership of school librarians in the context of positioning the librarian in the central role of a recognized leader rather than as an informal leader in the shadow of others.
