International education has become an increasingly important, yet complex policy sector in Canada. When shared responsibilities and competing interests exist across governments and educational institutions, the need for policy coordination emerges. This study focuses on the province of Manitoba and its policy coordination practices in K-12 international educational. A framework is proposed to analyze the role educational administrators in policy process focusing on: (a) actor dynamic, (b) process dynamic, and (c) outcome dynamic. Data for this study were collected through a qualitative case study approach that applied document analysis and semi-structured interview techniques. Findings suggest that leadership practices go beyond the structure of single institutions, and increasingly have a shared nature involving school administrators, governments, and membership organizations. Characteristics such as shared stakeholder interests, formal power position, and the interdependence of resources play an important role in fostering the leadership practices in policy contexts.
