Dissertations

This qualitative narrative inquiry examines the impact of Racial Battle Fatigue (RBF) on the career progression of Black women administrators at Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs). While RBF has been studied extensively among students and faculty, there has been little research exploring its influence on Black women leaders who navigate both racial and gendered power structures in organizations where they are often underrepresented and unsupported. Grounded in the theoretical framework of Intersectionality, this study explores one primary research question: What is the relationship between RBF and the career paths of Black women administrators at PWIs, including the stages in their careers …

Running Their Own Race: A Quantitative Study Of The Relative Self-Perceived Influence Of Black Male And Black Female Principals, Drema Brown

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

K–12 public school principals are responsible for many daily decisions that affect their student body. Despite their importance, very little is understood about these principals’ experiences, and even less is understood about the experiences of Black principals, who represent less than 10% of all public-school principals. To fill a gap in the literature, this study used organizational management theory and intersectionality as theoretical frameworks. The study used hierarchical regression modeling to analyze the National Center for Educational Statistics’ (NCES) Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) 1999–2000 principal survey data set. The aim was to investigate the impact of various factors, such …

From Theory To Practice: How Job-Embedded Professional Learning Labs Support Implementation And Application, Megan Kortlandt, Samantha Keesling, Asha Williams, Jay Haffner

Michigan Reading Journal

Educators in any role know that supporting application of new learning is critical. Classroom teachers ground their instruction in the gradual release of responsibility, problem-based learning, and other frameworks that support students in taking on new learning themselves. Similarly, it’s long been understood that, in order for professional learning to be effective for adults, it must support educators in transferring new learning to practice (Darling-Hammond et al, 2017). Yet most professional learning frameworks still involve large groups that often take place in settings removed from the students and settings where educators apply the learning. Though they may ask participants to …
