Sun, April 6, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 112BSession Type: Invited Session
Abstract
Our CCEAM-sponsored symposium builds on the momentum generated by the upswing in academic and professional interest in school leader workload and work-life issues and examines new research highlighting emerging evidence related to school leader experience, concerns and aspirations for the future. First, we bring attention to the current contextual, professional and personal issues related to school leader workload and work-life balance in Australia, Canada, England and the United States. Second, we demonstrate a range of methodological approaches to the study of workload and work-life issues. Third, we also aim to provide insight into generational and gendered understandings and enactments of workload and work-life balance.
