Book Elementary School Principals    Perceptions of Developing Leadership Capacity Through Professional Development

Download or read book Elementary School Principals Perceptions of Developing Leadership Capacity Through Professional Development written by Ann Leiter and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine 12 school principals’ perceptions of their professional development experiences to advance their leadership capacity. The study explored the alignment of the principals’ professional development experiences and their existing school challenges through Bolman and Deal’s four frames theoretical model. One-on-one interviews gave voice to the principals’ experiences, reflections, and challenges, providing insight into their decision-making processes and the connections they perceived developed their leadership capacity. The results of this were that the school principals perceived the development of their leadership capacity as having occurred through their self-selected professional development opportunities rather than through the mandated NYCDOE professional development courses, with the mandated professional development courses identified as predominantly focused on compliance and policy issues. Three key factors that influenced the principals’ choice in self- selected professional development topics were their perceived gaps in professional development content knowledge regarding curriculum and instruction, perceived gaps in leadership skills, and perceived gaps in both curriculum and instruction, their perceived gaps in leadership skills. There were differences in the principals’ understandings of the definition of process of change, perceptions of preferred methods of delivery of professional development, and the application of Bolman and Deal’s four frames to their existing school challenges. All 12 principals identified Bolman and Deal’s structural and human resource frames as elements of their self-selected professional development topics that contributed to the growth of their leadership capacity, enabling them to better meet their leadership challenges and promote school improvement. The most frequently identified frame perceived by principals as needed to support current school challenges was the political frame, which was also the leadership frame identified as the least developed, as well as the least available in mandated or self-selected professional development opportunities. An unexpected finding of this study was that all the principals were unclear as to which professional development courses were mandated by the NYCDOE. In addition, some principals perceived the process of change as updates and modifications rather than stages of transition from data analysis and goal setting through the stages of implementation and progress monitoring. This perception further expanded systemic incoherence. Recommendations from this study include a need for system leaders to align principal job responsibilities with mandated professional development opportunities in change theory, social networking, and culture to empower principals with the professional knowledge needed to more effectively pursue school- improvement goals. A final recommendation was to institute mandated professional development systemically aligned to Bolman and Deal’s political frame to fill the gap in developing leadership capacity to confront daily school challenges.

Book Preparing Principals for a Changing World

Download or read book Preparing Principals for a Changing World written by Linda Darling-Hammond and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-11-04 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preparing Principals for a Changing World provides a hands-on resource for creating and implementing effective policies and programs for developing expert school leaders. Written by acclaimed author and educator Linda Darling-Hammond and experts Debra Meyerson, Michelle LaPointe, and Margaret Terry Orr, this important book examines the characteristics of successful educational leadership programs and offers concrete recommendations to improve programs nationwide. In a study funded by the Wallace Foundation, Darling-Hammond and the team examined eight exemplary principal development programs, as well as state policies and principals' experiences across the country. Using the data from the study, they reveal how successful programs are structured, the skills and knowledge participants gain, and what they are able to do in practice as school leaders as a result. What do these exemplary programs have in common? Aggressive recruitment; close ties with schools in the community; on-the-ground training under the wing of expert principals, and a strong emphasis on the cutting-edge theories of instructional and transformational leadership. In addition to highlighting the programs' similarities, the study also explains the differences among the programs and sheds light on the effectiveness of approaches and models from different states and contexts?East, West, North, and South; urban and rural; pre-service and in-service. The authors analyze program outcomes for principals and their schools, including illustrative case studies and educators' voices on the influence of programs' strategies for recruitment, internships, mentoring, and coursework. The ideas and suggestions outlined in Preparing Principals for a Changing World are presented with the goal of increasing the number of highly qualified, thoughtful, and innovative educational leaders.

Book Developing School Leaders in the Pacific

Download or read book Developing School Leaders in the Pacific written by Narsamma Lingam and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides detailed insights on the training and development for Pacific Island school leaders. It draws extensively on original empirical research that explores school leaders’ perceptions of how leadership and management training impacted their professional practices, and how these practices in turn impacted the dynamics of school operations. This book addresses a critical need to understand how to support leadership development for all Pacific schools, but especially in schools that are faced with the increasing challenges of learning and teaching conditions. In small island developing states in the Pacific region, school leaders face a myriad of challenges due to limited human and material resources, and a fragile economic base. Written by Pacific Islander authors, this book provides insights from different countries in the Pacific Islands. It shows how contextual challenges can exert enormous pressure on school leaders who are leading and managing schools without any leadership preparation. Given the importance of effective leadership practices and its impact on student learning outcomes, this book aims to be a source of reference for practitioners and educational authorities who have a vested interest in the provision of quality education in the Pacific region and beyond.
