Sample text
It is characterized by a focus on the centrality of learning and teaching as the school’s primary purpose and high levels of staff and student commitment. Political elements of collaborative leader behaviour centre around reaching agreement through discussion, negotiation and compromise in a climate of openness. Disagreement and discord are expected in the social, value-laden context of the school. Rather than being seen as hindrances to successful practice, legitimate political processes are incorporated as part of everyday life, facilitating the attainment of shared goals and advancing the educational agenda.
Structures in schools provide the means by which decisions are made and implemented; where goals are set, where planning is designed and carried out, where job descriptions are clarified, where roles are identified and responsibilities allocated. The structural frame aligns with Sergiovanni’s (1984:6) concept of a ‘technical force of leadership’, where accomplishing the administrative tasks of the organization (planning, organizing, coordinating and controlling) are the central focus. Pertinent to this discussion are the external controls placed on Victorian schools directed by government-imposed school reform.
Miles and Huberman’s (1984:23) interactive model worked well, capturing the interrelationships and cross connections between the components of data collection, data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing/verify ing. The model also took account of the ongoing nature of the data analysis process, identifying the realities of the naturalistic research context which required repeated classifying and re-classifying of data. I recommend the use of the Miles and Huberman interactive model for those undertaking qualitative research.
