Abstract:

Studies investigating the career progression of BME teachers identify institutionalised discrimination, social inequality and unfavourable school practices as forces militating against the realisation of their school leadership aspirations. This study adds to this discourse by exploring some mediating forces, shaped by life history, beliefs, values, and workplace reactions, in the realisation of school leadership aspirations. In this regard, this research explores issues relating to the leadership roles a group of BME teachers conceive for themselves and their perceptions of success; the balan

This study examined the same variables from, A Study of the Leadership Ability of Negro High School Principals (Hatch, 1964), in order to identify perceptions of effective leadership from principals and teachers concerning the behavior of principals. Teachers' and principals' perceptions of the leadership ability of black high school principals were investigated to determine the extent to which those perceptions varied according to their race, gender, educational level, and years of working with the principal.

Abstract:

The twofold purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an independent Black school in meeting the developmental needs of its students and to consider the implications for developing a more culturally sensitive model for evaluation. The single case study research design was selected for this study.

Abstract:

Hip-Hop educational research is critical to understanding the plight of black boys in public schools throughout the United States. This qualitative inquiry fills a void in the research literature that often fails to include the emic perspectives of the participants involved. To confront the challenges black male youth face in school studies that capture their salient voices about lived-experiences are crucial. Nonetheless, this critical ethnography provides a praxis for educational practitioners to use to gain valuable insight into the minds of school age black males. This study contributes to

The purpose of this study is to examine the work-life balance experiences of Black females school leaders. Due to the inherent intersectionality of race and gender that is experienced by Black females, a study of their unique experiences with work-life balance is valuable to the field of educational leadership. The responsibilities associated with school leadership positions are extensive and those school leaders who also have spouses and children must figure out a way to fulfill responsibilities associated with each role.
