    DescriptionIn this piece, the author presents Critical Education Leadership and Policy Scholarship (CELPS)—a methodology designed to challenge the dominant functionalist approaches in educational leadership research. By placing leadership within its broader policy and social contexts, CELPS offers researchers a critical lens to interrogate power, identity, and the co-construction of social reality. This blog provides a concise and accessible introduction to the methodology, highlighting its key principles and potential impact on the field.

    The blog invites readers to reflect on how leadership is studied and understood, encouraging engagement with CELPS as a tool for deeper critical inquiry. Whether you are a researcher, practitioner, or policymaker, this piece provides a fresh perspective on leadership scholarship and its evolving landscape.
