Abstract	This research critically examines the role of pedagogical leadership as it is distributed amongst middle leaders. It seeks to better understand the playful utility of a popular culture metaphor as a frame for understanding empirical data about pedagogical leadership in two Australian schools during a period of imposed curriculum change. Utilising 'the theory of practice architectures' (Kemmis, Stephen, Jane Wilkinson, Christine Edwards-Groves, Ian Hardy, Peter Grootenboer, and Laurette Bristol. 2014. "Changing Practices, Changing Education." Wagga Wagga: Springer), the paper explores a direct quotation as metaphor from several pedagogical middle leaders that 'we're spies' -- and from one participant, 'in a good James Bond sort of way.' This research plays with and interprets the politics of practice including collaborating or 'licensed trouble shooting', and empowerment or 'interrogation' in everyday pedagogical leadership practice where distributing leadership may create espionage, or compliance during reform. Educational reform is espoused for 'the good of the empire' of education through the enabling and constraining practices of pedagogical middle leaders. (As Provided).
