Preparing Saudi Women Educators for Teacher Leader Roles in Accord with Societal Expectations of Islamic Leadership
Alghamdi, Amani Khalaf H.; El-Hassan, Wai Si; Alattiq, Mashail
Issues in Educational Research, v32 n1 p1-15 2022
This paper concerns preparing Saudi Arabian female educators, who may assume teacher leader roles, in alignment with the Islamic leadership concept. Women have been recognised as a 'great asset' for national development, and interest in their educational attainment is growing. After explaining this development in conjunction with the teacher leader concept, and after explaining Islamic leadership, the discussion turns to how Saudi female preservice teacher education programs can be retooled to offer a teacher leader curriculum that contains leadership knowledge, skills, and dispositions pursuant to female educators contributing to the achievement of "Vision 2030." "Teachers as leaders" in a knowledge society is a key part of Saudi Arabia's future.
