Abstract:

<p> Principals have tremendous influence on the schools they lead (Bamburg & Andrews, 1990; Marzano et al., 2005). Certain leadership behaviors impact school level factors (Cotton, 2003; Hallinger & Heck, 2010; Leithwood, Begley, & Cousins, 1990; Marzano et al., 2005; Orr, 2003). To affect high levels of student achievement, school principals must be responsible for uniting diverse groups under shared purposes with purposeful emphasis on others rather than on self (Cotton, 2003; Hallinger & Heck, 2010; Leithwood, Begley, & Cousins, 1990; Marzano et al., 2005; Orr, 2003).

This thesis examines Leadership Development in both a corporate setting and an expedition-based setting.

Abstract:

The study is located in a Steiner and broader educational context. There has been a shift towards a principal leadership model in Steiner school settings that have been required to meet the contemporary realities of increased regulatory and compliance-driven demands. This is at odds with non-hierarchical Steiner organisational models, which reflect the educational and social renewal ideals of Steiner’s world view. Steiner school principals are caught in the crossfire of this ideological divide. Through an autoethnographic inquiry using the theory of practice architectures as a framing and an

The empirical data indicate that the middle leaders’ roles suffer from lack of clarity, with managerial tasks dominating their job scope.

Abstract:

Innovative organisations are facing exceptional changes and challenges. To meet such changes and challenges, it is recognised that appropriate leadership is essential. This leadership organises and encourages thoughts and good intentions by putting the interests of others as the top priority, energises positive thoughts; loyalty, integrity and determination, and facilitates creative thinking by using all creative methods to solve problems and think outside of the box. Leadership best practices are the basis and driver for "innovative organisations and excellence" across the world. However, ach

Abstract:

Translating research to practice takes 10-20 years or more and evidence-based practice (EBP) integration remains at 10%-20%, despite recommendations requiring EBP-guided decisions. EBP integration has been associated with up to 30% decreases in healthcare system spending, improved quality outcomes, and increased staff satisfaction. Nurse leaders are accountable for EBP enculturation, yet rate quality and safety as the highest priority and EBP as the lowest. This knowledge gap perpetuates low EBP integration rates and hinders EBP enculturation. Asking whether EBP facilitative interventions for

Abstract:

This case study conceptually illustrated how a leadership living-learning community provided an educational context well suited to enhance development of leaders within changing leadership and educational paradigms. Specifically, it highlighted how both leadership and learning have come to be viewed as sociocultural processes, and presented theoretical and applied descriptions of â communities of practiceâ and the identity formation process of â legitimate peripheral participationâ (Lave & Wenger, 1991). The unit of analysis for this case study was a first-year, leadership-themed livi

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Martin Scanlan<br>As the populations of public schools in the United States grow increasingly more diverse, it is critical for district and school leaders to understand how educators make sense of their responsibility to improve outcomes for historically marginalized students. Culturally responsive practice (CRP) is a framework of beliefs and practices to enhance these students’ success. Additionally, it is well established that family engagement in schools also supports student achievement. This qualitative case study explores the intersection of CRP and family engagement by f
