Book excerpt: This quantitative survey research examined staff perceptions of African-American male principals in a K-12 urban public school district. Many cultural scholars believe that race matters in staff perceptions of their principal (Banks, 1991; Ladson-Billings &Tate, 1995; Lomotey, 1989). Frequently, African-American principals who lead a diverse group of staff members' in a large, K-12 urban public school district find their authority challenged and are view as "insignificant" leaders (Sizemore, 1986). Chemers's model (1995) on integrative leadership outlines three leadership categories (image, relational dimensions, and leadership) that are necessary for a person to lead an ethnically diverse workforce. The theoretical framework for this research study is a conceptual model of the Leader-Member Exchange Theory (LMX) by (Graen & Uhl-Bien, 1995). This theory explains interactions and relationships between the leaders and followers. The purpose of this study was to investigate staff members' perceptions of their African-Americans male principals in the areas of image, staff relationships, and leadership characteristics.

Download or read book African-American Principals written by Kofi Lomotey and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-09-11 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study fills a significant gap in educational research literature as it explores the problem of persistent and pervasive underachievement by African-American students in the public schools of the United States. Teacher quality, school resources, socio-economic status of students, cultural relevance of curriculum, and school leadership are a few of the factors that contribute to achievement or the lack of it by these students. Lomotey focuses on the impact of the African-American principal's leadership, its effect on the academic achievement of African-American students, and the day-to-day activities associated with school leadership. An early chapter reviews relevant research focusing on the connection between principal leadership and academic achievement in general. The extracted recurring qualities then form the basis for exploring whether African-American principals in more successful African-American schools possess the specific qualities suggested by the research. Lomotey finds that three additional and important characteristics are shared by his sample of principals: a deep commitment to the education of African-American children; a strong compassion for and understanding of both their students and the local community; and a sincere confidence in the ability of all African-American children to learn. The text is enhanced by two dozen tables that present the information discussed. An early chapter details the study's methodology with an overview and discussion of sampling and measurement procedures. Useful to students of educational administration, African American Principals: School Leadership and Success will also be of value in courses focusing on urban studies, school effectiveness, and school leadership. Black Studies programs addressing African-American education in America will find this a most necessary text. African-American educators--scholars and practitioners--as well as parents, community leaders, and other lay people will profit from the up-to-the-minute insights presented here.
Book Synopsis Teacher Perceptions of African-American Principal Leadership by : Darlene Morgan Brown
Download or read book Teacher Perceptions of African-American Principal Leadership written by Darlene Morgan Brown and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated teachers' perceptions of African-American principals' leadership and the extent to which those perceptions varied according to their race, gender, years of teaching experience, and years working with the principal. The results of this exploratory study are intended to enhance the empirical data reflecting the leadership characteristics of the African-American principal and to contribute to the research on leadership in general. The participants in this study consisted of 32 African-American principals and 164 teachers in schools representing 12 states during the 2004-2005 school year. Each teacher participant completed either an electronic or paper version of the Leadership and Management of Schools Survey Instrument (LMSS) which addressed the leadership and management traits of the principal and the demographic data on the teachers. The findings indicated that African-American principals are perceived as using high levels of transformational and transactional leadership. Additionally, results indicated that race influences the leadership credibility of the African-American principal. There did not appear to be a significant relationship between teachers' perceptions and gender of a teacher, gender of the principal, or both, and no relationship was found between the years of teachers' experience and their perceptions of the African-American principals. However, teachers' perceptions of African-American principals' leadership and management qualities increased positively with the number of years of experience working with the principal. Indications from these findings can be useful to universities, colleges, and school districts in making informed decisions concerning the training, recruitment, and placement of African-American principals.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study was conducted as a qualitative study on four African American male elementary principals. The qualitative research framework was selected to examine and give voice to the life experiences and leadership practices of four African American male administrators of urban elementary schools. The purpose of the study was to expand the limited research base regarding the lived experiences of the principalship from the participants' point of view as they are able to apprise other administrators on the issues of leadership in diverse school settings. The guiding questions were, (1) what personal characteristics attributed to these African American male principals success in elementary urban education; (2) how did the selected African American male principals exercise and interpret their acts of leadership; and (3) what were these African American male principals' perceptions about leadership as related to student outcomes in an urban elementary school. The results of this study yielded the following as it related to the voices of four African American male principals and their leadership in urban elementary schools:(1) many forms or ways of leading were practiced by the principals; (2) their upbringing or journeys to the principalship were different, however they wanted to make a difference in the lives of students; (3) the guidance from people around them played an instrumental part in the principal leadership practices; (4) they believed that hiring quality teachers was important to the success of the schools they led; and (5) they viewed acts of caring as essential to building relationships.

New Visions of Collective Achievement graciously offers each of us, as stakeholders, a most precious gift: a theoretical and practical framework to effect real, meaningful, and long-lasting change if we are courageous enough to take heed. “This refreshingly clear and focused book presents a comprehensive discussion on the schooling experiences of African American males across generations. This invaluable resource should be required reading for all educators who work with this population to show the value of education in the African American community.” – Chance W. Lewis, Ph.D. Carol Grotnes Belk Distinguished Professor of Urban Education, UNC Charlotte “New Visions of Collective Achievement provides educators with an important insight into the ways Black males experience their education across time. Through groundbreaking research presented in the voices of three generations of Black males, this book commands attention and calls for multiple stakeholders in our schools and communities to work together to cultivate and advance the social and academic well-being of Black males.” – Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of English Education, Teachers College, Columbia University “New Visions encapsulates the spirit of African American males who are separated by generations, yet bound by a collective struggle against social injustice and a desire for success. Dr. Hucks invokes a reverence for historical oppression, an awareness of present day opportunities and barriers, and a visionary path for future generations of Black men.” – Ivory A. Toldson, Ph.D. Editor-in-Chief, The Journal of Negro Education; Associate Professor, Counseling Psychology Program, Howard University

Book Synopsis An Analysis of Principals' and Teachers' Perceptions of the Academic Impact of 15 Social Perceptions Faced By Black Males by : Janice Marie Epperson

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When presented with 15 social perceptions, teachers differed in the extent to which they ranked such perceptions as having the most and least impact on Black male students' learning as well in the extent to which they judged these perceptions to be subject to correction. Across all repsondents, the perceptions deemed most negative concerned Black males' reputed propensity for violence and disruption, while those deemed least negative concerned Black male' alleged tendency to be more church-and -religion-oriented than their peers, as well as their reutation for being more athletically gifted than their peers. In terms of these perceptions being correctable, the respondents felt that it was relatively easy to demonstrate that Black males were not less intelligent, less articulate, and less interested in education than their peers of other ethinic groups. To the extent to that the respondents believed that the perception was at least partially grounded in the fact-as for exampple, Black male students being less than optimally "articulate" or "interested in education and self-improvement"--They also recommended specific reform strategies that educators could put in place. When grouped by positiion, ethnicity, age, years of experience, highest degree, and level of students served, respondents did not in general differ in how they ranked the perceptions, a noteworthy exception concerning respondednt ethnicity and the ones deemed most negative. By ethnicity, there were as many as seven statistically significant differences observed in the most negative rankings of non-White and White respondents, with non-Whites especially concerned about the perceptions of Black male student as being "innately less intelligent" and "better suited to vo-tech than academic classes" with respect to such students' success in school.
Book Synopsis Factors Contributing to Career Success by :
Download or read book Factors Contributing to Career Success written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no evidence that identifies support systems that contribute to the recruitment and retention of Black male K-12 administrators in urban districts. Traditional protocol in the K-12 educational arena often prescribes and requires school administrators to have prior teaching experiences before advancing to a career in school administration. However, within this framework, there is a severely limited pool of Black male teachers in the United States. Thus the opportunity for Black males to become school administrators is woefully inadequate. There are no incentives to attract Black male school administrators such as recruitment programs, scholarship programs, state or federal grants or mentoring programs. Lomotey (1989) conducted a study that asserted Black administrators serve a vital function for all students and for school staff and concluded that it is important to document the accomplishments of these individuals and to encourage both Black men and women to continue to take leadership positions in educational administration. The specific roles Black men and women play as school administrators have important implications for policies and practices in education. Clearly, there is a need for more of these individuals to serve not only Black students but all students. The overarching research question for the study posed to guide the collection of data for this study was to explore factors related to the career of Black male school principals. The interview instrument was a researcher-composed survey which consisted of 28 open ended questions in five distinct spheres of inquiry: (a) family, (b) individual, (c) institutional, (d) community, and (e) comprehensive. Following the development of the interview instrument, a pilot study was conducted to establish the reliability and validity of the researcher-designed instrument. Five themes emerged as a result of the data analysis: 1) colleague support is a key mechanism in the success of Black male school administrators; 2) parental involvement is important in the success of Black male school administrators; 3) connections to the community is important in the success of Black male school administrators; 4) support of higher administration is critical to the success of Black male school administrators; and 5) Access to adequate resources is important to the success of Black male school administrators. Participants responses to the researcher composed survey were the basis of the recommendations set forth in this study.

Book excerpt: "The primary purpose of this qualitative study is to understand the ways in which African-American male principals support African-American male students in rural schools. Secondly, the study explores how experiences during their developmental years influenced these supportive leadership practices of the African-American male principals. Extensive research exists on the successes and failures of African-American males; however, this research has been primarily conducted in urban settings. Rural schools and principals face similar challenges and obstacles of deficit-thinking, inadequate resources, and poor performance in educating African-American males, but may also face other conditions unique to the rural context. As such, this qualitative study examines the relationships and leadership practices of eight, rural African-American male principals as they support African-American male students at their respective schools. The findings revealed African-American principals support African-American males by encouraging positive relationships, promoting academic and community supports, and being cognizant of exclusionary disciplinary practices. Critical race theory (CRT) is used as a theoretical framework to explore how race influences negative perceptions about many African-American principals, as they face trials and tribulations themselves as educational leaders--and in many cases, are subjected to the same racism as their African-American male students."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Download or read book The Lived Experiences of Black Male Principals in Urban Settings written by Corey D. Grubbs and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the Brown v. Board of Education (1954) case, Black schools were led by Black principals, who were community leaders and role models held in high regard (Tillman, 2004b). However, this image and perception of the Black male principal began to vanish after the Brown v. Board of Education case decision to integrate schools (James, 1970). This qualitative research study focused on the lived experiences of Black male principals in urban settings. The researcher aimed to hear the voices of Black male principals and learn about leadership from their perspectives, including the context for these principals' challenges, barriers, and supports that contribute to success. This study was conducted using semi-structured interviews, direct observations, and document reviews with five Black male principals who were randomly sampled from the Ohio Department of Education list of Black male principals in urban Ohio. Critical Race Theory, African American Male Theory, and Transformational Leadership Theory were used as frameworks to understand the lived experiences of Black male principals. The results of the study yielded 10 important findings: (1) Pathways for Success; (2) Challenges Poverty/Support; (3) Instructional Leaders; (4) Challenges leading White Staff; (5) Trust; (6) Mentors; (7) Innovation/Finances; (8) Macroaggression; (9) Code-Switching; and (10) Black Male Identity. The voices of Black male principals are shared throughout the study. Implications from this study will benefit educational leaders, school districts, aspiring Black male principals and graduate programs of study in higher education.
