Jang, Soo Bin – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2020
This paper examines how the initiation of a national-level curricular reform invites different educational ideas and how such ideas attain legitimacy through policy narratives that confer meanings about school knowledge, schooling, and the nation using the case of the South Korean national curriculum reform of 2015. By critically analysing…

Netolicky, Deborah M. – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2019
Moving away from the study of the principal as the central leader figure in schools, this article argues for an alternative narrative for school leadership.

Tooms, Autumn K.; Lugg, Catherine A.; Bogotch, Ira – Educational Administration Quarterly, 2010
This theoretical analysis employs a poststructuralist lens to reveal the constructs behind the word "fit", an oft used descriptor integral to the discourse of school hiring practices, personnel decisions, and politics. Although the term is a part of the everyday culture of school politics, it is rarely considered with any depth. Using the metaphor…

Stine, Deborah E. – Journal of Women in Educational Leadership, 2004
This paper paints a portrait of successful leadership that was built through the directorship and ethic of caring of a female site administrator.

The study is framed through the…

Doyle, Lynn H. – Journal of School Leadership, 2004
The fabric of educational leadership is changing. Murphy (2001) has suggested three new metaphors for educational leaders: moral stewards, builders of communities, and educators for school improvement. However, shifting priorities and contradictions between these metaphors could result in fragmentation within the field. This article discusses…
