How is leadership in educational contexts related to children's rights? With the ratification
of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC) by most states children's rights
become increasingly important in politics society and thus in the respective education
system. The role of educational leadership at different levels in the promotion of children's
rights is an unresolved issue. This volume intends to integrate both domains. Therefore the
compiled articles either focus on educational leadership and discuss its impacts on children's
rights or on children's rights and their implications for educational leadership. In doing so
they take diverse theoretical conceptual and empirical perspectives combining
(inter)national views from educational sciences policy and practice. Scientific
contributions highlight current strands of discourse and research (e.g. transformational
leadership UNICEF Child Rights Schools Program) guest articles address different examples for
educational practice (e.g. early childhood education or care programs). The volume addresses
scholars in the educational sciences and related disciplines as well as those involved in
educational policy practice administration and law.
