This case study illuminates how cultural and policy distinctions impact differing necessities of educational leadership, and how those necessities conflict or concur with the international standards and assumed best practices. In particular, it serves as an exploration of policy borrowing, considering that leadership preparation in developed countries has been, on some levels, an issue of occupational field professionalization.  \nIntroduction  \nThe preparation of educational leaders has become, in some regard, a standardized practice throughout the world, based on professional knowledge of best practice, empirical evidence, and organizational leadership theory. In large part, PISA and national exams have encouraged a consistent set of views about what constitutes instructional leadership. Standards, particularly from English-speaking countries, such as the US and the UK, have provided relatively common understandings on school leadership throughout the world. And naturally, preparation programs have followed suit, often instituting courses that look remarkably similar. This is a noteworthy feat for the professionalization of the occupation of school leadership, as it has instituted common boundaries of practice that span national borders. In some sense– furthering the professionalization of the field–it makes a case for the de-contextualization of school leadership practice.  \nYet leadership practices and needs within schools vary tremendously, not just between countries, but within countries, as well. What follows is a case study of one leadership preparation program, utilizing US school leadership standards and practices, offered in Egypt. This case study helps us to better understand how cultural and policy distinctions impact differing necessities of educational leadership, and how those necessities conflict or concur with the international standards and assumed best practices.  \n2 Vol. 43, No. 3, Summer 2016  \nIn particular, it serves as an exploration of policy borrowing, considering that leadership preparation in developed countries has been, on some levels, an issue of occupational field professionalization.  \nProfessionalization of School Leadership  \nThe field of school leadership has achieved many markers of professional status in the past few decades, particularly in developed countries. In Europe and North America, a postgraduate degree or certification is typically required to work as a school administrator. And increasingly a professional doctorate is either expected or encouraged. Various standards for practice have been developed, disseminated, and governmentally adopted. Though countries utilize differing standards, and in the US even, some states have adopted their own distinctive standards, in developed countries, the general tenor of the standards is exceptionally similar. For instance, the National Policy Board for Educational Administration in the US lists this item in its 2015 Professional Standards for Educational Leaders:  \nStandard 1 – Mission, Vision, & Core Values point “G”: Model and pursue the school’s mission, vision, and core values in all aspects of leadership.  \nThe General Teaching Council for Scotland lists this item in its 2012 Standards for leadership and management:  \nStandard 2 – Strategic Vision, Professional Knowledge and Understanding and Interpersonal Skills and Abilities, point 2.1, second paragraph: Leaders steer the creation and the s","cbCaifJX5iWtgU5X","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifJX5iWtgU5X","pdf",192418,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Professionalization of School Leadership","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of this paper’s case study in Egypt?\",\"answer\":\"It examines one educational leadership preparation program offered in Egypt, using U.S. school leadership standards and practices.
