Abstract：Within the academic literature, limited attention has been paid to the issue of school leadership from an international and comparative perspective. This paper contributes to the limited literature that does exist by considering how a project involving Canadian and Haitian school principals supported the leadership capacity of the leaders involved. Using digital technologies such as smartphones and tablet computers, participants engaged in an online professional learning community over a two-year period. This paper reports on three key themes that emerged from a qualitative research framework: collaboration and problem-solving, adapted leadership practices, and local and cross-cultural learning. These themes are examined in consideration of literature contending that localised leadership experiences inform cross-cultural learning and that school leadership requires a new conceptualisation of 'glocalisation'. In the conclusion, suggestions for further research involving international collaboration in educational leadership are discussed.

Keywords：educational leadership; qualitative research; problem solving

总结：

1、在学术文献中，研究者们很少关注从国际比较角度来看待的学校领导问题。考虑到一个涉及道加拿大和海地学校校长支持相关领导人的领导能力的项目，本文对有限的文献进行了分析。通过使用数字技术，如智能手机和平板电脑，参与者们在在网上进行为期两年的专业学习。

2、本文探讨了从质性研究框架中得出的三个关键主题：协作和解决问题、适应领导实践以及本地和跨文化学习。笔者通过考虑局部的领导经验的跨文化学习以及学校领导需要一种国际化的新概念来对这些主题进行讨论。最后在结论中，对涉及国际合作的教育领导提出了进一步的建议。
