Abstract: Abstract This dissertation adopts a qualitative approach to study the perception of six secondary teachers from two schools, with a similar background and history, of leadership in school-based management (SBM) schools. The focus of the research is to explore the views of the teachers on the changes in school administration and the structure of the school under SBM; the challenges, difficulties and skills of principals; and the leadership roles of principals under SBM. The study can supplement the limited number of researches on the roles of principals in SBM schools in Hong Kong and semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain the information. As serving teachers now play increasingly important roles in schools and they work closely with their principals in administrative and educational matters, they can provide invaluable insight into the new roles of principals. My research has uncovered the perceptions of the teachers on leadership and the education reforms in the two schools that I studied. All the teachers confirmed that the roles of principals and senior teachers had changed under SBM and decision making had become a participative activity shared among various stakeholders. Principals and teachers need to trust one another and work collaboratively in an effective manner and schools have to develop their own unique culture. The findings of this study were limited to a description of the perception of six secondary teachers of two Hong Kong schools on the leadership roles of principals as well as some of the challenges and problems their principals encountered. It is hoped that the findings could provide educators and aspiring and practicing principals some insights into other similar situations and cases, thereby assisting the interpretation of the situations. iii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3021754 Subjects: Educational leadership - China - Hong Kong School-based management - China - Hong Kong High school teachers - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first International Handbook of Educational Leadership and Administration (Leithwood et al.) was published in 1996 and quickly became something of a best seller for reference works within education. Such success, we suggest, was at least partly due to the unprecedented global waves of concern for improving schools launched in the mid 1980's, combined with a widespread belief in leadership as the single most powerful contribution to such improvement. The roots of this belief can be found in evidence produced by the early "effective schools" research, although there is a "romance" with leadership! as an explanation for success in many non-school enterprises, as well. During the two-year period during which this current handbook was being written, activity in the realms of school leadership, school improvement, and leadership development gained further momentum. The English government created its new National College of School Leadership, and several Asian nations announced new initiatives in leadership selection, preparation, and development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reform of American education is largely motivated by concerns about our economic competitiveness and American's standard of living. Yet, few if any of the public school reform agendas incorporate economic principles or research findings. Improving America's Schools explores how education and economic research can help produce, in the words of Harvard's Dale W. Jorgenson, "a unified framework for future education reform." This book presents the perspectives of noted experts, including Eric A. Hanushek, author of Making Schools Work, on creating incentives for improved school and student performance; Under Secretary of Education Marshall S. Smith on the Clinton Administration's reform program; and Rebecca Maynard, University of Pennsylvania, on the education of the disadvantaged. This volume explores these areas: The importance of schooling to labor market success. The prospects for combining school-based management with teacher incentives to gain the best of both approaches. The potential of recent innovations in student achievement testing, including new "value-added" indicators. The economic factors involved in maintaining an adequate stock of effective teachers. The volume also explores why, despite similar standards of living, France, the Netherlands, England, Scotland, and the United States produce different levels of education achievement. Improving America's Schools informs the current debate over school reform with a fresh perspective, examples, and data. This readable volume will be of interest to policymakers, researchers, educators, and education administrators as well as economists and employersâ€"it is also readily accessible to concerned parents and the larger community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book extends our understanding of the attitudes and behaviors of teachers who improve their schools consistently and considerably. It sets out to critically analyze and examine organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) in schools from a contextual perspective and to display the uniqueness of the concept in the context of school, its dimensions, boundaries, antecedents and consequences from a multi-level perspective. Chapters consider: understandings of teachers' OCB, its nature, components, and salience in schools personal, organizational, and cultural factors which might facilitate or inhibit teachers' OCB contributions and the drawbacks of OCB for the improvement of educational systems, schools, and educators a new conceptualization of teachers' OCB based on the unique characteristics of school and the teaching profession, and consequences for theory and practice practical tools for guiding educational policy-makers, principals, and teacher educators on how to assimilate and enhance teachers' OCB. Organizational Citizenship Behavior in Schools will appeal to scholars and researchers in educational administration, educational policy, school leadership and teacher education. It will also be of interest to supervisors, policy makers and postgraduate students in the field of education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research conducted on principal responsibility indicates today’s school leaders are faced with increased pressures and demands. To alleviate these increased demands, Principals utilize distributed leadership, relying on teacher leaders to assist in daily school functions and processes. Past studies provided insight into empowerment and how teachers are called upon to take on leadership roles within schools. The focus of this mixed methods study was to determine the perceptions of empowered teachers in successful Title 1 schools in an urban school system and if these empowered teachers are encouraged to take on teacher leader roles within their schools. Utilization of the School Participant Empowerment Scale survey created by Short and Rinehart (1992) established the quantitative analysis on the perceptions of teacher empowerment within this study. Qualitative analysis was used to reveal what specific teacher leader opportunities are presented to the empowered teacher participants within this study. This research investigation revealed teachers are empowered to take on teacher leader roles involving professional development, along with providing instructional guidance and support in an environment of encouragement and respect. However, teacher perceptions indicated the empowerment to lead instructionally is evident, while the participating teachers of this study are limited in large-scale capacity functions such as budgeting and scheduling within their schools.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF Dissertation Entitled "School Based Management: A way to improve teacher performance in Hong Kong Government Schools" submitted by O, Sui-fong For the degree of Master of Education At the University of Hong Kong in August 2004 This study investigates whether teachers working in Government secondary schools have any differences in their performance and perceptions on school-based management (SBM) when compared with their colleagues working in the aided secondary schools. It further explores the feasibility of adopting school-based management on staffing in Hong Kong Government secondary schools. A quantitative study method was adopted, and the results show that teachers working in Government secondary schools have higher turn over rate, lower sense of efficacy and commitment to the schools than the teachers working in aided schools. Teachers in Government secondary schools have similar measurement on professional interests and perceptions on school-based management with those teachers from aided schools. Generally speaking, SBM has positive impact to the schools. Yet, the effects are far more significant on responsiveness and accountability, less on teachers' job satisfaction, teachers' ownership, commitment and performance. Many teachers in Government secondary schools considered school-based staffing system, which is adopted by most aided schools, as a way to improve teacher performance. They welcome the practice of school-based staffing system in government secondary schools. More research work is needed to investigate further development in the personnel domain of SBM of Government secondary schools and its effects on teacher performance.
