Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of a larger study on school choice, researchers at the National Center on School Choice examined variation in leadership practices across school types, relying on a convenience matched sample of schools that included charter, magnet, private, and traditional public schools. A total of 284 schools agreed to participate in the study--116 charter, 33 magnet, 17 private, and 118 traditional public schools. Among the charter schools, 59 are independently operated; 35 are reported to be operated or affiliated with a larger management organization that has a multistate presence; 9 are mission-driven to serve special student populations, such as those with learning disabilities; and 13 have some affiliation--for example, with a local performing arts center or a local community college--but not at a national scale or with a special population focus. Principal surveys were collected from 248 schools, yielding the following response rates: 91 percent from charter schools, 67 percent from magnet schools, 100 percent from private schools, and 87 percent from traditional public schools. The study took a twofold approach to examine the leadership practices of school principals across school choice types and traditional public schools. First, researchers examined principal practices among school types in terms of challenges, role focus, and time spent on core leadership tasks. Second, they probed the two types of charter school structures--independent and those affiliated with a management organization--to examine the association between differences related to type and principal instructional leadership. Central questions of the study were: (1) Do principals from different school types report different levels and types of leadership challenges?; (2) Do principals from different school types report differences in their leadership practices?; and (3) For charter school principals, are leadership challenges and practices, especially instructional leadership, associated with school management structures? Key findings include: (1) Principals from choice schools face similar levels and types of leadership challenges; (2) The role focus of choice school principals was not significantly different compared with traditional public school principals; (3) How principals use their time was similar across school types; and (4) Differences were found between affiliated and nonaffiliated charter schools.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the similarities and differences in preferred leadership qualities among a random sample of principals of traditional elementary schools in California, traditional elementary schools in Alberta, Canada, and selected charter schools in the United States. The intent of the research was to identify the preferred leadership practices of each study group to determine and report significant differences and similarities. Seventy-five principals were randomly selected, 25 from each of the three study groups, to complete the survey. Forty-two principals (56%) returned surveys. Of the surveys returned, 40 were usable for the study. The theoretical foundation for the study was provided by the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) developed by Bass and Avolio (1989). The MLQ provided 10 measures to be used as independent variables. Of the 10 measures, 4 related to transformational leadership, 2 to leadership, 1 related to non-leadership, and 3 related to outcome measures as a result of the leadership practice. Four primary research questions, each with a supporting null hypothesis, were tested using one-way ANOVAs resulting in 71 significant differences. The study of the preferred leadership qualities of principals in selected American charter schools, Alberta elementary public schools, and California elementary public schools confirmed that each group preferred transformational leadership practices over either transactional or nonleadership, practices. The degree of preference for transformational leadership practices of each principal group was, however, significantly different. The research identified the perception of each of the leadership groups on their use of seven leadership factors and the degree to which three outcome factors, pertaining to leadership, contributed to their success. The findings clearly indicated American charter school principals perceive themselves as transformational leaders significantly more than did either Alberta or California public elementary school principals at the 0.05 level of confidence. Charter school principals scored significantly higher than Alberta elementary school principals on three of the four transformational leadership factors: charisma, inspiration, and intellectual stimulation. When compared to California elementary school principals, charter school principals scored significantly higher on one of the four transformational leadership measures, charisma. Each of the three principal groups appeared to be in a state of transition from the traditional role of instructional leader toward a new role of Chief Executive Officers of their schools. The principal group scores also indicated that today's principals preferred the collaborative transformational approach to leadership over the traditional leadership style. As a result of the study, seven recommendations for future study were made. Four suggestions for practical applications of the study were also suggested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To move the field closer to untangling the charter versus public school debate, this study compared leadership practices surrounding discipline and the frequency of student misconduct between public and charter schools that reside in urban neighborhoods and serve predominantly students of color. School leadership's approaches to discipline were investigated by comparing punitive authoritarian practices such as suspensions and transfers to therapeutic and educational strategies such as positive behavior management and teacher training. Student conduct was comprised of problematic peer-directed behaviors (e.g., bullying, sexual harassment, harassment of sexual orientation, and gang activity) and authority-directed misconduct (e.g., verbal abuse of teacher, acts of disrespect towards teacher, and classroom disorder). The sample used in this analysis was garnered from a larger nationally representative pool of public school principals (n = 610) from elementary, middle, high school, and combination schools across the United States who completed The School Survey of Crime and Safety (SSOCS) during the 2009-2010 academic school year. To uncover which leadership variables could account for significant differences in student conduct across school type (public or charter) several multivariate analyses were conducted using factorial analysis, MANCOVAs, and partial correlations. The results revealed that charter schools used more Educational Discipline while public schools used more Authoritarian Discipline and Therapeutic Discipline. In addition, public school principals reported a greater frequency of Peer-directed and Authority-directed student conduct compared to charter school principals. The relationships between certain discipline practices and student conduct types were found to be statistically significantly different between school type. Several points of policy are suggested for leadership and policy makers to consider with regard to urban school reform initiatives surrounding the establishment of a supportive school climate that positively affects student conduct.

Book excerpt: Unexplored Conditions of Charter School Principals: An Examination of the Issues and Challenges for Leaders, explores contemporary policy issues confronting charter school principals. The purpose of this book is to explore the issues and challenges confronted by charter school principals across an array of goals and expectations set forth by the policy and local context. By drawing on leadership and policy experts and researchers, we offer an in-depth examination of what current issues charter school principals face. Starting with autonomy, we work our way through teacher evaluation and succession and socialization and then conclude with an opportunity to reflect on what we know and how to look forward. By drawing on autonomy, sensemaking, teacher evaluations, and succession and socialization, this book traces the development of the charter principal within these policy contexts. Collectively, these topics form the beginnings of what we hope will be an informative and useful conversation of where the charter school principal has been and where they are headed.

Book excerpt: Pennsylvania passed its Charter School Law in 1997. Over the more than 20 years that have passed, a fluctuating number of charters have operated in the state. During the 2016-2017 school year, there were 152 charter schools in operation. Charter schools opened in Pennsylvania under the supposition of fulfilling the legislative desire for parental school choice, the existence of laboratories of learning, and in search of schools which would operate outside the proverbial red tape. Now almost 20 years after the law was passed, there is little evidence to demonstrate that charter schools, and their theoretically liberated leaders, have soared ahead of their traditional public school counterparts. There is, however, a preponderance of documented evidence when charter schools fail, but little in the way of research that identifies crucial indicators that correlate to school success. In this dissertation, the questions below attempt to frame the context for this study around the relationship between relationship styles, autonomy and successful leadership, followed by a discussion around recommendations and next steps toward improved school leadership.

This book examines the uniqueness of the urban school and those in leadership roles that affect urban students and schools. It examines community, district, school, and teacher leadership influencing urban schools. This edition examines conceptualizations of urban ecologies as well as other critical geographies and how these shape understandings in educational contexts. Contributions for this edition focused on areas that examined social, technological, international and other processes with intersections of issues of race, class, and gender, power, politics, and capital and how they influence urban educational leadership. We also included place and space-based theories and discourses that influence urban realities, which include (but were not limited to): networks, assemblages, safe/brave space, placemaking, flow, thirdspace, homeplace, and urbanormativity.
