Title	Looking at leadership change in urban schools from a dynamic perspective
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2009
Resource Type	Dissertation
Notes	This case study explored leadership behaviors of urban school principals that develop capacity-building for teaching and learning that supported the school improvement plans of one school district in Connecticut. Six embedded cases were investigated to explore the variation in capacity-building across the school levels. Leadership for capacity-building was primarily framed by the transformational and transactional leadership model. The five leadership frames of Bolman and Deal (2003) and Cheng (1997) were components of an integrated framework. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire was the primary quantitative instrument in this mixed methods study. Qualitative data were drawn from interviews, observations, and school accountability documents. The study found that school principals engaged in transformational and corrective transactional leadership behaviors that facilitate first-order changes are necessary for capacity-building. It was also found that hierarchical accountability systems have the potential to influence the second-order changes necessary for capacity-building. These second-order changes require that leaders focus on conducting a critical analysis of organizational culture (Schein, 2004) for organizational effectiveness and increased student achievement.
