How Do School Leaders Navigate Ict Educational Reform? Policy Learning Narratives From A Singapore Context, Vicente C. Reyes Jr
Dr. Vicente C Reyes Jr
The purpose of this research inquiry focuses on how school leaders ‘make sense’ of educational reform in their local contexts. In order to do this, an exploratory qualitative case study of two schools that took part in policy reform initiatives directed at ubiquitous use of information communication and technology (ICT) in the Singapore city–state context is undertaken. Using focus group discussions (FGDs), interviews and observations this inquiry investigates and builds emerging explanations to sense-making experiences of actors in the midst of reforms. Using Bruner’s narrative analysis, findings from this inquiry provide a picture of how school leaders cope in periods …

Factors That Influence Student Selection Of Educational Leadership Master’S Programs At Regional Universities, Pam Winn, Lesley F. Leach, Susan Erwin, Liza Benedict
Administrative Issues Journal
Graduate enrollment numbers in Educational Leadership programs have dwindled at many public higher education institutions. At the same time, for-profit institutions and institutions with private marketing partnerships have experienced increasingly greater enrollments. Many public institutions are reevaluating their marketing and recruiting strategies as they struggle to compete for students. Central to any marketing strategy is knowledge of the needs and wants of consumers; in the case of higher education, the consumers are students. This study sought to determine the needs and wants of Master’s-level Educational Leadership students by investigating the factors that influenced students’ selections of programs as well as …

Voices Of Leadership: A Narrative Study Of Four Vermont Superintendents And Their Experience With Policy Governance, Daniel Mcneil French
Voices Of Leadership: A Narrative Study Of Four Vermont Superintendents And Their Experience With Policy Governance, Daniel Mcneil French
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
In 2006, the Vermont School Board's Association launched a pilot implementation of Policy Governance® in four Vermont school districts. Policy Governance is a coherent governance model that requires boards to establish policy in four policy quadrants (Carver, 2006). Key features of Policy Governance include the clear delineation of roles and responsibilities between a board and its CEO and the articulation of Ends policies which describe the desired outcomes for the organization from a future-oriented perspective (Carver, 2006). These characteristics of Policy Governance are in many ways antithetical to traditional Vermont public school governance practices which are grounded in a long-standing …
Women Leadership K - 12 Public Education: One Woman’S Experienced Perspective, Randolph B. Muhammad
Women Leadership K - 12 Public Education: One Woman’S Experienced Perspective, Randolph B. Muhammad
Randolph B Muhammad
This essay, Women leadership K - 12 Public Education; one woman’s experienced perspective, is the outcome of an interview, is a continuum of leadership theory and its application in relation to cultural differences with respect to how society envisions, defines leaders. One component of leadership today that is routinely discussed is a leader’s ability to be “transformational.” I opine that transformational in this context is a leaders ability to capitalize on differences associated with a multi-cultural society effecting societal change and ensuring social justice (education is a mechanism of social justice) for all. Northouse (2010) in the opening chapter of …

Identifying Organizational Containment And Its Effect On The Career Paths Of Black Educators, Risha Berry
Identifying Organizational Containment And Its Effect On The Career Paths Of Black Educators, Risha Berry
Theses and Dissertations
The racial composition of the school workforce is the product of a complex interaction of social forces. School constituencies such as parents, students, and teachers impact new leader preferences. Their ideas influence decisions regarding who fits into school administration and who doesn't (Williams & Loeb, 2012). These "fit" preferences can shape school district ethos, which then influences access to social networks (Tooms, 2010). Limited entry to these networks may produce multiple disadvantages, particularly for Black educators. One way to think of this access is through the concept of containment. Restricted data from the 2011-12 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) will …

By studying the experiences of principals in two other states who previously underwent the same change, Florida and Massachusetts, a number of insights were found that can serve to inform Illinois.
The intended impacts found from expanding the performance ratings included the promotion of teacher growth, recognition of teacher excellence, promotion of teacher remediation, and support in dismissing ineffective teachers. The unintended impacts that were found …
