Exploring the Potential of School Leadership Teams to Promote Organizational Resilience in Underperforming High Schools
Fri, April 22, 4:15 to 5:45pm PDT (4:15 to 5:45pm PDT), SIG Virtual Rooms, SIG-Leadership for School Improvement Virtual Roundtable Session RoomAbstract
One approach that educational leaders have employed to share leadership and management responsibilities with others is to create a school leadership team (SLT). Yet, not much research has investigated SLTs and/or their relationship to school improvement. This sequential mixed-methods study used interview and survey data to examine the functions and organizing features of 17 SLTs in underperforming high schools in the United States. Specific attention was given to explore how, if at all, SLTs might promote organizational resilience, which centers on promoting organizational abilities to anticipate, cope, and adapt. Findings inform the field's understanding of SLTs along with providing promising empirical support for how SLTs might be one way for underperforming schools to build, practice, and enhance organizational resilience.
