In view of the ever-increasing responsibilities of school leaders for ensuring the quality of schools, school leadership development has recently become one of the central concerns of educational policy. Based on data from an international study of school leadership development, international trends in school leadership preparation are identified and briefly discussed, for example, central quality assurance and decentralized provision; new forms of cooperation and partnership as well as preparatory qualification; extensive and comprehensive programs; multiphase designs and modularization; the communicative and cooperative shift; from administration and maintenance to leadership as well as change and continuous improvement; qualifying teams and developing the leadership capacity of schools; needs-, experience-, and application orientation; new ways of learning; adjusting the program to explicit aims and objectives; new paradigms of leadership; and orientation toward the school’s core purpose. In addition, the article also highlights emerging issues and recent developments.
