Beyond Boundaries: Third Space Leadership in Schools
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v28 n3 p16-31 2025
This case study is relevant to practicing and prospective leaders because it raises issues related to third space leadership. I define third space leadership as the spaces/places between school and home, school and before or after school programs, school, and extra-curricular activities, such as the commute in a school bus. Third space leadership is grounded in adaptive leadership, cultural proficiency, equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging. This teaching case study exposes educational administrators to a holistic approach to leadership that includes the in-between spaces that are integral parts and moments of students' educational journeys. The Teaching Notes outline key concepts on third space theory, third space leadership, and invitational education.
