1. A Mirroring Process: From School Management Team Cooperation to Teacher Collaboration

Author

Lu, Jiafang and Hallinger, Phillip

Abstract

In this study, we examine how cooperation and constructive controversy evidenced within school management teams (SMT) relate to collaboration among teachers. Dyad survey data was collected from SMT members and teachers at 32 primary schools in Hong Kong. Results of multilevel regression analysis indicated that cooperation among SMT members was positively related to teacher collaboration. Moreover, constructive controversy within SMTs mediated the path and contributed additional variance explained in school-wide teacher collaboration. These findings affirm that the leadership dynamics of SMTs in Hong Kong primary schools do appear to have a positive influence on potentially important school-level conditions.

3. Mapping Instructional Leadership in Thailand: Has Education Reform Impacted Principal Practice?

Author

Hallinger, Phillip and Lee, Moosung

Abstract

Over the past two decades a growing body of international research suggests that instructional leadership from the principal is essential for the improvement of teaching and learning in schools. However, in many parts of the world, the practice of instructional leadership remains both poorly understood and outside the main job description of the principal. Thus, in many nations, the expectation for principals to act as instructional leaders represents a major change from traditional practice. The current study explores the principal's changing role as an instructional leader in Thailand, where education reforms adopted in 1999 sought to change modal approaches to teaching and learning as well as school management. The study employed surveys of principal instructional leadership conducted prior to and following adoption of Thailand's National Education Act 1999 to assess change in principal practice. The results suggest that despite new system expectations for principal to act as instructional leaders, the predominant orientation of Thai principals remains largely unchanged. The authors recommend that more systematic and substantial steps are needed to train and support principals in making this change in their role.

4. Assessing the Measurement Properties of the Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale: A Meta-Analysis of Reliability Studies

Author

Hallinger, Phillip, Wang, Wen-Chung, and Chen, Chia-Wen

Abstract

Background: In a recent article, Hallinger (2011b) reviewed 135 empirical studies that had employed the Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) over the prior three decades. The author concluded that the PIMRS appeared to have attained a consistent record of yielding reliable and valid data on principal instructional leadership. However, given the focus of the review, little detail was provided on measurement results related to the PIMRS instrument. Research Design: In light of the extensive past and current use of the PIMRS, the current article seeks to provide a comprehensive and detailed picture of reliability results. More specifically, the authors present a meta-analysis of reliability results derived from 52 data sets derived from 43 independent empirical studies in which the PIMRS had been employed for data collection. Conclusions: The main contribution of this article lies in elaborating on and updating information regarding the measurement properties of the PIMRS, among the most widely used scales in the study and assessment of principal leadership. This information will be useful for researchers who are planning empirical studies of leadership and learning as well as practitioners who have a need for reliable measures of principal instructional leadership.

10. Navigating Culture and Context: The Principalship in East and South-East Asia.

Author

Maclean, Rupert, Walker, Allan, and Hallinger, Phillip

Abstract

A dominant aspect of the current educational environment in East Asia is the multiple education reforms which have assailed schools since the early 1990s. Another is the long-held cultural values that principals embrace as part of a broader social group and which underpin the construction of personal, societal, relational, and organisational norms and behaviours. Reform demands and cultural values converge at the school level to shape a constantly shifting environment. The associated fluidity of this environment, in effect, expresses principals' lives and work to form and transform what they do. As this process unfolds, principals find themselves navigating an unpredictable path to school improvement and the very meaning of leadership becomes confused (Bottery, 2004). This context challenges principals to construct a new role that is personally authentic and which attends to the core values of stakeholders, community needs, and system requirements.
