Degree: 2017, The George Washington University

▼ Previous research illustrated how principals effectively facilitate the development of teachers’ instructional practice through actions such as differentiating professional development, providing continuous professional development, establishing learning communities and using supervision/evaluations to help modify instruction; however, what is missing from that research is how personal/professional experiences influence specific principal behavior and actions in regards to facilitating the development of teachers’ instructional practice. The idea of school principal as teacher-educator is supported within the requirements to become a principal (ISSLC Standards, 2015) as well as within daily necessities of school leaders (Darling-Hammond, 2010; Fullan, 2012, 2014; Hargreaves & Fullan, 2013). Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, believes the best way to get strong teachers is to adopt a “fundamentally different way of looking at teachers, how we recruit, train and support them and give them the latitude and tools and conditions to do their jobs” [emphasis added] (Layton, 2015). The question that remains is how specific experiences influence the actions of principals to focus on the development of teaches’ instructional practice. Potential influential personal or professional practices might include: principals’ teacher and administrative training and experiences, mandates from central administration vs. local needs, the context and community of school and/or the personal life experiences of the principals. Hence, it is imperative to take a closer look into what experiences influence principal actions to facilitate the development of teachers’ instructional practices. This study employed narrative inquiry methodology and analysis to examine personal and professional experiences of three selected principals who have been identified as outstanding in their field. Findings provide detailed insight into how personal and/or professional experiences influence their actions in regards to the development of teachers’ instructional practice. The results of this study unpack the journey these individuals took in becoming learning leaders of their school community. Additionally, the results are informative to the field of educational leadership.

▼ A Master Plan for Higher Education in California (Master Plan) is a historically renowned policy document that transformed uncoordinated and competing colleges and universities into a coherent system by providing each system (California Community Colleges, California State University, and the University of California) with its own distinctive mission and pool of students. Master Plan combined quality educational policy with expansive access for students for the first time in higher education. This policy document set forth broad guidelines for who would be admitted to each system of higher education, with the University of California (UC) responsible for enrolling the top 12.5% of the state’s high school graduates. Using Master Plan as the guiding, overarching policy document, UC established its eligibility and admission policies. These policies have had a disparate impact on African American male students. Using a policy discourse analysis methodology, I explore the articulated goals of UC’s eligibility and admission policies and the discourses and positions they advance. In particular, I consider how these policy documents and discourse impact African American males’ quest for a UC education. I present evidence that the dominant discourses of merit and prestige, countered by alternate discourses of access, eligibility, diversity, race, and mission, provide a limited range of available policy themes and opportunities. I argue that the dominate discourses constrain understandings of UC eligibility and admission, and potentially narrow the UC educational opportunities available to African American males, which has negative implications for the state of California and the nation. If Master Plan and its premier university system, the University of California, are to serve as instruments for creating and expanding opportunity, UC and its eligibility and admission policies must be more than a necessary outcome; it is important to examine and expand more closely the definitions of merit and the construct of UC eligibility on the pathway to admission and the overwhelming role of prestige, as set forth in A Master Plan for Higher Education in California.Lastly, I argue that the interplay of prestige, race, and access in UC’s eligibility and admission policies utilizing the backdrop of the historic policy document, Master Plan, can serve as a gatekeeper or opportunity path in African American males’ access to the University of California.

▼ The main purpose of this study was to identify the problems facing rural primary school women teachers in Oromia. A descriptive survey method was employed to achieve this objective. The data needed were obtained by administering questionnaire to 229 women and 240 men teachers. Furthermore, 6 Woreda Education Officers, 3 Primary School Experts of Zonal Education Departments and 3 Women's Affairs (2 from Zonal Education Departments and 1 from Oromia Education Bureau) were included in providing information through unstructured interview. In addition, percentages, chi-square, t-tests, Spearman's rank order correlation and coefficient correlation were used to analyze the data obtained. The results indicated that factors related to utilization of women teachers were barriers related to lack of safety and living conditions, multiple demands on women, masculine nature of schooling and schools, devaluation of the teaching profession and sexual harassment. There were also barriers identified related to administrative practices and regulations, social and cultural factors and family responsibilities related to career development and promotion of women teachers. With regard to possible interventions to the problems facing rural primary school women teachers both women and men teachers had suggested as priority such as assigning both spouses of working in different departments in the same place, giving opportunity for education and training and giving incentives and providing adequate living facilities in rural schools are first, second and third respectively. Moreover, to deal with sexual harassment and to consider the time given to rearing children in career structure of women teachers were suggested fourth and fifth respectively. Hence, there were barriers identified related to the deployment and career development and promotion of women teachers which would be intervened, as suggested. Therefore, it is recommended that educational policy makers and planners ought to pay more attention to deployment and career development and promotion of women teachers in rural areas. VII Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Yalew Ingidayehu (advisor).

▼ Few studies focus on the voices of students of color and their insight and recommendations for school leaders wishing to transform their schools into socially just and equitable institutions. This dissertation bridges the gap in the literature by giving voice to three Latina women who attended the same predominantly White high school within a ten-year period. The purpose of the study was to understand how the participants described their ethnic racial identity, and how they experienced schooling, within a predominantly White educational space. Further, the study offers concrete suggestions for school leaders wishing to transform their schools into culturally responsive institutions. Narrative storytelling was the chosen methodology, with the expressed goal of honoring the participants’ lived experiences navigating a predominantly White educational system. Three in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with each participant. By voicing their challenges, strengths, and resiliency, this study provides three counter-narratives through which educational leaders may come to better understand the needs of Latino/a students. Key findings of this study included an examination of the exclusionary treatment experienced by the participants and an analysis of the ways in which these experiences impacted their ability to fully access or benefit from their education. Within each narrative, I grouped the participant experiences under two categories: Identity and School Experience. Themes and sub-themes emerged within each category. These were included to provide deeper, richer narratives. The theme of the critical role of family emerged under the first category, Identity. Under the second category of School Experience, three overarching themes emerged. These included the participants’ experiences of exclusion, support, and empowerment in school. Within exclusion, the girls reported experiences related to racism and discrimination, dominant discourse/White privilege, institutional barriers, belonging, disengagement, discipline/unequal treatment, physical/emotional mistreatment, and silencing. Under support, sub-themes were identified around adult allyship, relationships with staff, and parental attitude toward education. Finally, within empowering experiences, the sub-theme voice—particularly the use of voice to speak out against inequities—emerged. The combined voices, told through the participant narratives, provide valuable insights for educational leaders wishing to reform their schools into more inclusive, socially just institutions.

▼ According to higher education policy experts, “Campus threat assessment is not merely a recommendation, but an emerging standard of care.” However, despite evidence of the emergence of this standard and the consistency of recommendations that comport with those made by the Virginia Tech Review Panel, college campuses continue to vary significantly in their approaches to threat-assessment protocols. This study examines the extent to which campuses in the state of Illinois do vary and seeks to understand better the reasons for that variation. This research also examines the status of threat-assessment policies and protocols being conducted on three campuses and how the implementation of recommendations that followed Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois shootings have contributed to the creation of more optimally safe campuses. The study also examines the prevalence and consistency of the barriers that impede institutional efforts to detect and mitigate campus threats of violence. Research sites included Northern Illinois University, where an incident of violence occurred in 2008, and the University of Illinois–Chicago and Illinois State University, where an incident of such magnitude has not yet occurred. The findings suggest that in states where the implementation of threat-assessment protocols and policies has been mandated by state law, campus leaders perceive these required measures to increase the preparedness of the campus environment. The research also suggests that even in Illinois, a state where such policy schemes are mandated, variation in the application of these policies and protocols persists. Findings suggest that even in states where policies are legislatively mandated, campuses continue to experience barriers to full implementation of recommendations that might lead to greater preparedness, including ambiguity regarding how best to balance the obligation to protect individual privacy and community security and to address self-harming behaviors and suicidality, the limited utility in zero-tolerance standards, institutional constraints in policy adoption and participation by the campus community, and insufficient dedication of institutional funding and support. The most significant barrier, however, was the unrealistic expectation that campus personnel be able to predict future behavior and events.

▼ This study explores private higher education and implementation of quality assurance procedures in Ghana, a country in West Africa. While focusing on the three main isomorphic classifications (coercive, mimetic and normative) of DiMaggio and Powell’s (1983) institutional theory, this study examines how regulatory measures are not only designed to enhance the quality of private higher education institutions, but also how they impact the efforts employed by private providers towards meeting quality assurance standards in the environment in which they are located. Using a qualitative methodology, participants from five private university colleges and two private chartered institutions are selected as constituting the sample for this study. In addition, quality assurance documents from the website of the Ghana’s National Accreditation Board (NAB) as well as documents from the websites of seven private higher education institutions are coded using NVivo 10 to determine the kind of efforts made by institutions to convey the message of legitimacy across to students and other clientele. Other participants are officials from the NAB, higher education specialists and retired faculty of public higher education institutions in Ghana. In general, the outcome of open-ended interviews with selected participants as well as documents analyzed found evidence of efforts private institutions are making towards meeting their quality assurance requirements through mimetic, coercive and normative isomorphism. These are indicated through institutional affiliations, conformity to mentoring (supervising) institution’s programs, quality assurance requirements and measures established in conformity to the NAB requirements. Higher education specialists advocate that a specific policy aimed at addressing shortage of faculty members in Sub-Saharan Africa should be formulated to take on a more regional dimension. The Ghanaian private higher education landscape has a number of issues including shortage of academic and non-academic staff, dependence on adjunct faculty, and non-compliance to time frame given for program and institutional accreditation. These issues will require a holistic approach involving the NAB and the PHEIs in order to find long lasting solutions. As a result of the continual growth of private higher education providers in Ghana, it is imperative that the NAB make the quality assurance process very welcoming to genuine actors.

▼ A mixed method study with a statewide sampling of both superintendents (N = 258) and school board members (N = 543) within the State of Illinois designed to identify the perceptions of the ideal superintendent candidate. Using the study defined professional standard sub-components of the superintendency developed from the American Association of School Administrators Professional Standards for the Superintendency (Hoyle, Bjork, Collier, & Glass, 2005), a quantitative survey was develop and distributed to each superintendent and school board member within the State of Illinois. The following analysis provides a ranking of standard sub-components for each group, along with perception data comparing population characteristics including gender, tenure, type of district and size of district. Continuing from the quantitative analysis, four participants representing an even distribution of superintendents, school board members and gender were selected and interviewed. This qualitative stage of the study was conducted using semi-structured and open ended questioning to delve deeper into the quantitative findings. This study brings affirmation of the importance of the identified professional standard sub-components while expanding on the perceptions of the role of superintendent through the lived experience of people within and overseeing this critical educational leadership position. The quantitative analysis found that of the twenty-two standard sub-components included within the study, Leadership Qualities (Ethics & Values) was consistently found across both populations as ranking the highest. This was similarly found for the standard sub-component of Strong Communication Skills which was ranked second for both populations. The sub-component of Community / Public Relations Skills was found to be ranked in the top five most highly ranked sub-components for both populations. The qualitative analysis provides a categorical breakdown of each of the twenty identified themes relating to superintendency within three key indicator groupings including Situational, Personal Traits and Skills/Abilities. Incongruency was identified between the quantitative and qualitative analyses of this study in a single area. Across the quantitative analysis, a total of 19 of the 22 sub-components were found to hold a statistically significant difference between male and female responses. This was in direct contrast to the consistent opinion held by each of the interview participants that gender held no impact on perceptions of the ideal superintendent candidate.

▼ Purpose. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore new principals’ and assistant principals’ lived experiences and perceptions of California teacher tenure law and challenges they faced when determining if a probationary teacher was ready for tenure. Methodology. Phenomenology was the chosen methodology for this study. Semi-structured, in-depth, open-ended interviews were conducted face-to face with participants in a private setting of their choice to obtain new administrators’ perspectives on teacher tenure. Eleven new principals and assistant principals who served in the capacity of administrator for two years or less and who already went through the evaluation process experience were interviewed representing three southern California school districts. Findings. The study identified four major themes and thirteen overarching themes as perceived by new principals and assistant principals: job protection, non-arbitrary dismissal, comfort to try new things, difficult to terminate, teacher complacency, brief decision window to determine tenure, lack of diversity in the evaluation process, feedback and coaching, increased years to grant tenure, collaboration, informal classroom walkthroughs, student growth, and professional growth. Conclusions. The results of the study led to recommendations for improving the tenure system. The study revealed the need for a probationary period longer than two years before granting tenure. Administrators need training and support to assist with due process, difficult dismissal policies, and teacher evaluations to provide teachers meaningful feedback and purposeful coaching. Create diversity in evaluations by including: peer and administrator input; how teachers collaborate and work with peers, parents, students, and administrators; and student growth/learning. Recommendations. A comprehensive tenure evaluation system should be built based on the conclusions of this study. Future researchers should widen the investigation by replicating the study to include support staff; completing a longitudinal study by looking at state requirements for training teacher evaluators across the nation; conducting studies on computer applications to assist in teacher evaluations; and examining the different dismissal processes/policies in each state to determine where difficulty lies in the removal of ineffective teachers.

▼ The No Child Left Behind Act has the stated purpose to ensure all children have equal access to high-quality education and reach minimum proficiency on state academic achievement standards and assessments. A disparity in the academic achievement between Blacks and Latinos and their White counterparts. The problem this study addresses is the lack of Black and Latino student perspective concerning challenges they face around the academic achievement gap and the goals they set to face those challenges. The purpose of this qualitative narrative inquiry study was to elicit from Black and Latino students their perspective on the academic achievement gap, the challenges they face, and the goals they employ to face those challenges in the hope of closing this gap. Data was collected from six 12^th grade Black and Latino students between 18 and 20 years old, in a central Florida urban community using semi-structured face-to-face and focus group interviews, and archived data. The Dimensions of Excellence Scales Student Survey Instrument was used to define and refine interview questions. Thirty-five pages of interview transcripts produced 42 stories, which were coded to saturation, revealing eight themes. Five of these themes (family support, educational support, white privilege, safety, and disenfranchisement) helped inform research Q1. To inform research Q2, three themes (goal setting, student-centered strategies, and sense of family) were used. Finally, three themes (educational support, white privilege, and disenfranchisement) were used to inform research Q3. Findings from this study suggest the participants share common perceived challenges to a successful educational experience (parental and educational support, white privilege, disenfranchisement, safety) as well as strategies to reach their goals (goal-setting, student-centered strategies). Additionally, it is suggested that participants are aware of the academic achievement gap and have opinions on how to help close it. Future research should focus on whether these perceptions exist in other demographics and geographical locations.

▼ A Study of School Board & Superintendent Relations: Strategies for Building Trust in the Mistrustful Context of K-12 Public Education By Kelly Dawn Bowers Doctor of Education University of California, Berkeley Professor Heinrich Mintrop, Chair As illuminated in my study, which is only a small subset of the larger public education governance system, the mounting political pressure that school boards and superintendents face does not seem to be diminishing. It is well documented that boards under fire from constituents often make the superintendent the scapegoat, which undermines trust and threatens their strength of relationship with an uneven power dynamic. Whether attributed to general dissatisfaction with American governance which leaves superintendents subject to the political whims and winds of school boards (Lutz & Iannaccone, 1978); their increasingly limited sphere of influence in an era of high stakes external accountability (Howell, 2005), or the acute pressures of the politics of personalism (Feuerstein & Opfer, 1998), the odds of forming solid, trusting relational bonds are stacked against them. Over the past few decades, there has been a growing movement in many fields and industries, including public education, to develop new, collaborative models and approaches to managing and governing, as an alternative to more adversarial, bureaucratic and top-down methods (Ansell & Gash, 2008). With this move away from competitive toward collaborative governance, relationship building at all levels has taken on new importance. In this case study, I examined the conflict-ridden relationship dynamic and tense micropolitical climate inherited by two superintendents and boards, within a general context of distrust directed toward public education and elected officials, which is further exacerbated by negative interactions with their immediate predecessors. Using Bryk and Schneider’s (2002) concept of relational trust which was developed in other public school system settings, as an ideal measure, I was able to gather evidence of substantive change in the tenor and positive quality of the board/superintendent relationship over time. My findings highlighted two newly hired superintendents who took stock of their somewhat damaged and mistrustful board/ superintendent relationship status upon entry and strategically cultivated relational trust with their respective school boards, as substantiated by increased and genuine displays of mutual respect, personal regard, integrity and competence in their public and private interactions. My findings indicated that a board/superintendent relationship is not static but malleable, and with concentrated focus and customized strategic intervention by a new superintendent, a previously damaged governance team relationship can be repaired and trust restored. Even in a high-trust situation, however, my conclusions divulged cautionary implications, as a board and superintendent that become too close, too trusting in the public’s…

▼ Recent educational reform efforts such as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and the Race to the Top Initiative (RTT) have exhibited a proclivity to use centralized, top-down reform tactics to improve student achievement. The requirement of states to revise their previous teacher evaluation systems, in order to procure funding from the Race to the Top Initiative, represents a signature example of such tactics. Emerging research suggests that these policies may also unintentionally reduce teachers’ autonomy, deteriorate professional interactions, decrease teachers’ sense of worth and subsequently weaken teacher morale. Additional research indicates that early career teachers tend to respond to educational change differently than that of late career teachers. This study examined the impact of the Annual Professional Performance Review (3012-c) upon teacher morale, while exploring whether this policy may be perceived differently between early and late career teachers. A web-based survey was used to collect data from 235 public school teachers across the Hudson Valley Region in New York State. The study measured respondents’ teacher morale, autonomy, professional interactions, sense of worth, and positive perception of APPR. Findings from the study’s quantitative analysis indicated that a majority of the study’s participants (66.8%) reported disagreement with both the Positive Perception of APPR and the statement “the morale in this school is high.” However, teacher experience did not mediate this relationship. Despite this disagreement, teacher resilience surfaced as an additional finding from this study. For example, respondents indicated agreement with the statements “Teachers take pride in this school” (83%) and “Teachers go about their work with enthusiasm” (68%). Additionally, respondents indicated agreement with the statements, “I receive support from my colleagues” (91%) and “Teachers in this school can rely on their colleagues for support and assistance when needed” (90%).Additional findings were also drawn from the study’s open-ended response and follow-up interviews. For example, some educators noted that the evaluation process prior to APPR (3012-c) lacked accountability and characterized the transition between these two systems as both hasty and overwhelming. In regards to APPR (3012-c), educators indicated a general lack of recognition for factors outside of their control, while adding that much of the time spent on collecting teaching evidence has taken away their ability to develop creative lessons. Other findings signified teachers’ appreciation for receiving regular feedback from their administrators. Several respondents observed that teacher accountability may play a role in developing their professional skills, while other educators discussed the relationships that they maintain with colleagues despite the pressures of APPR. During the course of this study, NYSED and Education Commissioner Elia…
