  • Context-Responsive Leadership : Examining Superintendent Leadership in Context
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Education Policy Analysis Archives. - : Arizona State University. - 1068-2341. ; 19:18
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • It is widely acknowledged that context matters, that it affects leadership practices. A large body of descriptive studies documents common elements in the work of school superintendents. What is less well known is how superintendents’ leadership may be expressed very differently given the varying contexts in which they work. The purpose of this cross-national study was to identify the specific variations in context which influence superintendents’ leadership, and to examine how superintendents respond to these variations in context. Structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 superintendents- six from across Sweden and six from Wisconsin, in the United States. The findings illustrate that the work of superintendents is paradoxically similar but different. Superintendents described common primary work priorities, challenges and contextual variations which influenced their practice. Yet, differences in district size, organizational culture, community characteristics, and geographic location significantly influenced their leadership practices. Despite their challenges, all superintendents responded to and shaped the context of their work. The study provides illustrative examples of superintendent leadership in situ, and supports the argument that leadership is both embedded in and influenced by context. The study also furthers the authors’ emerging theory of context-responsive leadership.

    • Recently, the building of personal, interpersonal and organisational capacity through the restructuring of schools as learning organisations and professional learning communities have been identified as promising developments in school-based administrative theory (Louis et al. 1996; Senge 2000; Mitchell and Sackney 2000). Yet, capacity-building theories are complex and require administrators to be conversant with new approaches to leadership, change theory, instruction and professional development, whilst maintaining that which is already effective within schools (Silins et al. 2002). The purpose of this chapter is to explore the capacity-building strategies used by principals and headteachers to improve and sustain improvements in student achievement in US, British and Swedish contexts.

  • Managing equity : experiences from Canada and Sweden
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: International Studies in Educational Administration. - : Commonwealth Council for Educational Administration and Management (CCEAM). - 1324-1702 .- 1839-2768. ; 38:3, s. 3-17
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Both Canada and Sweden are experiencing major demographic changes that have an impact on the organisation of schools. Here we report on an exploratory study which sought to examine the ways in which principals from each of those two countries manage questions of equity. The findings of this small-scale preliminary investigation suggest that principals actively resist any attempts to recognize diversity and difference. Where diversity and difference were recognised, it was in the sense of a deficit model. Further, we found a consistent superficiality with respect to discussions of values or of alternative pedagogical or organ isational approaches. Rather, respondents gave the impression of being pragmatic and situation-based, using avoidance strategies to minimise differences with the intention of creating equitable access and opportunity for all students. Further and more comprehensive research is required to determine the extent to which these findings may be replicated in other jurisdictions.

  • Preparing school leaders to lead organizational learning and capacity building
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: US and cross-national policies, practices, and preparation. - Dordrecht : Springer Netherlands. - 9789400705418 - 9789400705425 ; , s. 103-123
  • Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This chapter examines the leadership development of principals /head teachers in England, Sweden and the United States with a particular focus on organizational learning and capacity building in leadership preparation programs. The authors note that leadership preparation varies across the three countries, with the longest history of formal training in the United States. At the same time, several similarities and trends in organizational learning preparation and professional development exist. Further, this chapter considers how these various elements of leadership preparation could be employed to better prepare aspiring and current principals to successfully lead organizational learning and capacity building in their schools. The chapter concludes with three recommendations regarding (1) candidate selection, (2) curricula design and (3) professional and social support that could enhance school leadership preparation and subsequent on-the-job performance.
