Navigating Educational Leadership: Challenges, Styles, and Impacts -A Systematic Review

Profile image of Marlon T Villaver

2024, International Multidisciplinary Journal of Research for Innovation, Sustainability, and Excellence

The systematic review delves into the multifaceted landscape of educational leadership and management, highlighting diverse leadership styles, challenges in leadership development, impacts on teaching practices and student outcomes, and gender disparities in leadership roles. Transformational, instructional, and distributed leadership styles emerge as pivotal in shaping educational institutions, with effective practices positively influencing teaching quality and student achievement. However, challenges such as the lack of established qualifications for school leaders and gender disparities pose significant barriers to leadership development and equity. The study emphasizes the need for policymakers and stakeholders to prioritize the cultivation of effective leadership pipelines and support mechanisms to address these challenges. Initiatives to promote gender equity and empower women in leadership roles, such as scholarships and fellowships, are also advocated. Ultimately, the findings underscore the critical role of educational leadership in shaping the future of education and call for collaborative action to cultivate inclusive, effective, and visionary leadership practices that advance educational excellence and equity.

While issues of education reform and improving schools have long focused on the decisive role of the teacher, the critical role of the school leader has gained increasing attention in the public sphere, given shifts in federal education pohcy that have focused more explicitly on the importance of great teachers, as well as great leaders. As a result, research on educational leadership affirms that leadership matters and sets the scope, structure, and sequence of student learning and academic programmatic delivery (Brown & Hunter, 2006). The question facing all professional educator preparation programs is, what kind of leaders are we producing? It is important for schools, colleges, and departments of education to demonstrate the effectiveness and utility of their professional leadership preparation programs. The public vilification of schools and student achievement portend a unique opportunity to delineate the complex nature of our work. The piupose of this special issue of the Joumal of School Leadership is to expand the knowledge and research base on issues of educational equity, community engagement, and academic excellence as informed by leadership theory, research, and practice. It does this by featuring the work of students and faculty of the Holmes Scholars® Program and extending both the conversations and the research that deal with issues of equity, engagement, and educational excellence as perceived, valued, experienced, and informed by the educational leader.

The gender of school leaders makes a difference in career paths, personal life, and characteristics of workplace. There is additional evidence that men and women are appointed or elected to lead different kinds of educational jurisdictions. Even if those differences did not exist, equitable access to leadership positions for people of different backgrounds would make this an important issue. This article reports gender-related findings from the American Association of School Administrators 2015 Mid-Decade Survey. Findings confirm many of the trends in research on the superintendency over the past 15 years. The profiles of women superintendents are becoming more like their male counterparts. Both men and women appear to be less mobile than in the past. Men and women are spending about the same time as teachers before becoming superintendents, women and men appear to experience stress similarly, and women are receiving mentoring much more than in the past. There are few data to support the beliefs that women superintendents, more than men, are limited by family circumstance although this survey sheds no light on perspectives of women aspirants. This survey also confirms that there are a variety of paths to the position providing opportunities for women who have not necessarily had the typical teacher/principal/central office administrator trajectory. Nevertheless, significant differences still exist. Most important is that men are still four times more likely than women to serve in the most powerful position in education, and both women and men of color are still grossly underrepresented.

Leadership is the ability through which people follow a leader at their own will. Leaders do not exert any influence upon others; instead they give a vision and have a clear picture and prerequisite skills of how to achieve it. Educational leadership is the process of directing the potentialities and energies of teachers, students, parents and all the stakeholders towards the achievement of shared educational goals. It has become evident through researches that leadership is that ability which is genderless. Comparative studies related to gender in school administration has proved that under female leadership the performance level and learning achievement of students was higher. The prime responsibility of educational leaders is to convert teaching institutions into learning institutions. The gender differences in leadership styles are observable but it is not proved that men are better leaders as compared to women. Both of them can excel in effective educational leadership if they ...

As we settle into the 21st century and take stock of where women have made inroads into the leadership arena, we begin to understand more about how leadership has been (and is) gendered. The purportedly gender- and race-neutral rhetoric supporting policies that harm students, families, teachers and their communities must be un-masked. Feminist and gender theories offer multiple avenues to pursue new knowledge.

Educational leadership has been supported by an inadequate knowledge base for administrative preparation and an inadequate research base for program improvement. Over the past 40 years, no new programmatic ideas have been produced in this field. This paper reports on trends to improve the quality of research and theory development in the teaching and learning of educational leadership. The Teaching in Educational Administration Special Interest Group (TEA-SIG) was involved in making the learning and teaching of educational administration a legitimate research topic within the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and an accepted vehicle for exchanging ideas about teaching and learning. Research trends include the study of structural reforms, and studies including contextuality (for example, the inclusion of poverty and race) . Other signs for positive change are online delivery of courses and programs, cohort programs, fast-tracks, district-department partnerships, and fi...

literature review on instructional leadership

  • Peter Grootenboer 2  

2019 Accesses

In this chapter, the focus will be on leadership as it has been conceptualised and understood in the literature. This will be a selective review of the educational leadership literature, primarily focusing on those which have some connection to middle leading. Specifically, a significant part of this chapter is devoted to shared models and/or theories (e.g. distributed leadership, dispersed leadership), as these by definition include middle leaders. Central to the review is a commitment to the dual purposes of education outlined in Chap. 1—the development of individual students and the development of communities and society, and the focus on the classroom as the ‘hot spot’ of school education. ‘We know that principals’ effects on students are largely indirect. Their actions are mediated by the instructional program and the school culture’ (Murphy, Neumerski, Goldring, Grissom, & Porter, 2016, p. 459).

In this chapter, the term leadership (i.e. a noun) is often used even though a feature of the whole book has been on ‘leading’ (i.e. a verb). This is because the literature primarily refers to educational leadership .

This is discussed in much more detail in later chapters.

To this end, Gronn ( 2009 ) proposed the idea of ‘hybrid leadership’—this will be briefly discussed in a later section.

There is not space to do justice to this theory of leadership here, but for a more fulsome account, see Gronn ( 2011 ).

For an overview of instructional leadership, see Chap. 2 in Hallinger and Wang ( 2016 ) and Murphy et al. ( 2016 ).

Although in this chapter, the term leadership has been used extensively because this is the word used in the models reviewed.
